Abstract
In the present paper, the design of the nonβimaging totally internally reflecting concentrator family denominated optical antennas (OAs) is discussed, and its use for indoor optical wireless communication systems is explained. The lenses presented here can be designed to provide a prescribed angular response in order to limit the central wavelength shift in thinβfilm optical filters. They can also be designed for any specific fieldβofβview (FOV), which allows greater rejection of unwanted background radiation and higher gains. The use of a variety of optical filters to achieve a high signalβtoβnoise ratio at the receiver is described. Design methods and properties of different Optical Antennas are explained. Comparisons of size and performance of total internal reflection based concentrators with those based on dielectric hemispheres and compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) are carried out. Finally different experimental results are presented. Copyright Β© 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract It is well known that indoor wireless optical channels are limited not only in transmitted optical power, but also in signalling bandwidth. This bandwidth constraint arises due to multipath dispersion in indoor settings as well as due to response time limitations of optoelectronic compo
