Optical Wireless (OW) provides an alternative to RF for wireless connectivity. In applications where Radio Frequency (RF) might interfere with system operations, OW can be used to provide connectivity. This work studies the applicability of OW to connect two agents in a swarm. The work discusses transmitter and receiver designs and shares the results of simulation and lab experiments for different circuits configurations. The work shows the results of a reliable 100Kbps link between agents operating at a distance of approximately equal to 3 meters.
