How to modulate daylight to transmit data

By

Researchers in Saudi Arabia are exploring an unusual idea: modulating daylight coming through a window to transmit data. The scheme will use quadrature amplitude modulator and a pair of liquid crystal shutters to change the polarisation of light as it passes. “Change in light polarisation is imperceptible to the eye, eliminating the flicker problem,” said …
