Abstract

Intelligent lighting has attracted lots of research interests to investigate all the possible schemes to support this need as human has spent more and more time indoor. Semiconductor-based illumination network is an ideal bearer to carry on this mission. In this paper, we propose the concept of Internet of Light (IoL) and define its key functionalities by introducing the information and communication technologies to the illumination networks. Our latest research progress on high-speed transmission, resource optimization, and light stroboscopic irradiation experiment based on IoL platform show that IoL can not only provide value-added services such as positioning and information transmission but also act like a sensor network as part of Internet of Things infrastructure. It confirms that with sensors for different purposes integrated into the lamp, IoL helps people be aware of the environmental changes and make the adjustment accordingly, can provide cost-effective information service for Internet of Things applications, and supports the non-intrusive optical therapy in the future.
