Abstract

To achieve a cellular network in visible light communication, the illumination areas covered by red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) forming a white LED should be of the same size with uniform intensity distribution. In this paper, the iterative algorithm for the design of multicolor-oriented two-dimensional diffractive optical elements (DOEs) is improved. Simulation results indicate that almost the same size of the diffraction patterns of the DOE illuminated by multicolor LEDs is achieved with good uniformity of the intensity distribution.
