Abstract
The invention relates to a wireless communication device which uses light, comprising at least: a light source emitting a modulated light signal; a photovoltaic module capable of receiving said modulated light signal; and an analog-to-digital converter electrically connected to the output terminals of said photovoltaic module, making it possible to convert the analog signal output by the photovoltaic module into a digital signal; characterised in that it also comprises a means for polarising said photovoltaic module making it possible to generate a polarisation voltage applied to the terminals of said photovoltaic module, and a management module capable of optimising said polarisation voltage into a threshold voltage corresponding to an improved signal-to-noise ratio and communication bandwidth.
