Popis: Indoor diffuse optical intensity channels are bandwidth constrained due to the multiple reflected paths be- tween the transmitter and the receiver which cause consider- able inter-symbol interference (ISI). The transmitted signal amplitude is inherently non-negative, being a light intensity signal. All optical intensity root Nyquist pulses are time- limited to a single symbol interval which eliminates the pos- sibility of finding bandlimited root Nyquist pulses. However, potential exists to design bandwidth efficient pulses. This pa- per investigates the modified hermite polynomial functions and prolate spheroidal wave functions as candidate wave- forms for designing spectrally efficient optical pulses. These functions yield orthogonal pulses which have constant pulse duration irrespective of the order of the function, making them ideal for designing an ISI free pulse. Simulation re- sults comparing the two pulses and challenges pertaining to their design and implementation are discussed.
