    Abstract: An optical wireless communication receiver (100/600) includes one or more harvesting solar cells (112) configured to transform light into electrical power; one or more communication solar cells (122) configured to transform light into an electrical signal embedding information; a rechargeable battery (130) configured to store the electrical power generated by the one or more harvesting solar cells (112); a communication module (150) configured to decode the electrical signal generated by the one or more communication solar cells (122) and extract the information; a first switch (114) configured to connect the one or more harvesting solar cells (112) to the rechargeable battery (130) for a harvesting-first state, and to the communication module (150) for a communication-second state; a second switch (124) configured to connect the one or more communication solar cells (122) to the communication module (150) for a communication-first state, and to the rechargeable battery (130) for a harvesting-second state; and a microprocessor (140) configured to control the first and second switches (114, 124).

    Abstract: A single-shot astigmatic phase retrieval wavefront sensor system (100) includes a single 2-dimensional (2D) grating (110) configured to split an incoming optical beam (112) into plural split beams (114-I) and to modulate each of the plural split beams (114-I) with a corresponding modulation of plural modulations; a light sensor (120) configured to receive the plural split beams (114-I) and determine a light intensity of each of the plural split beams (114-I); and a processing unit (130) connected to the light sensor (120) and configured to calculate a phase distribution of a wavefront of the incoming optical beam (112) based on simultaneously measured light intensities of the plural split beams (114-I).

    Abstract: A method for transmitting information across a water-air interface with a ultraviolet (UV) beam (230), the method including emitting (1100) the UV beam (230) in a first medium, with a first optical wireless communication device (210); measuring (1102) a scintillation index of the UV beam (230) in a second medium, different from the first medium, at a second optical wireless communication device (250); selecting (1104), based on a value of the scintillation index, a modulation scheme for the UV beam (230); and modulating (1106) the UV beam (230) with the selected modulation scheme. The UV beam has a wavelength in a range of 100 to 400 nm.

    Abstract: A large-area, waveguide-based, high-speed ultraviolet and visible light photodetector system (100) for optical wireless communication includes a substrate (102); plural, parallel, waveguides (110) formed directly on the substrate (102) and including a high quantum-yield wavelength-converting material (212) of semiconductor nature; an optical coupling system (120) optically connected to each one of the plural, parallel, waveguides (110); and a photodetector (130) optically connected to the optical coupling system (120) and configured to detect an outgoing light (142). The wavelength-converting material (212) converts a first wavelength of an incoming light (140) at high-speed, received by the plural, parallel, waveguides (110), into a second wavelength of the outgoing light (142). The first wavelength is different from the second wavelength, and the first and second wavelengths are between 200 and 800 nm.
