Abstract
The prevalence of electric discharge illumination has led the authors to consider ways to use discharge lamps for communication. This paper describes an optical transceiver system which transmits by modulating the lamp arc. The prototype power electronic lamp ballast uses a pulse-frequency modulation scheme which ensures no perceptible flicker
