The present invention addresses the problem of improving data transmission/reception equipment and transmission efficiency per hour. A light output unit 111 of a light transmitting/receiving device outputs n optical signals (where n is an integer value of 2 or more), each with a different wavelength, based on n respective pieces of data to be transmitted. From the n optical signals, a multiplexer 112 produces an optical signal multiplexed with respect to wavelength. From the multiplexed optical signal, an encryption unit 113 produces an encrypted signal by performing multi-level modulation on the basis of a Y-00 protocol. The problem is solved thereby.

Embodiments may provide a way of communicating via an electromagnetic radiator, or light source, that can be amplitude modulated such as light emitting diode (LED) lighting and receivers or detectors that can determine data from light received from the amplitude modulated electromagnetic radiator. Some embodiments may provide a method of transmitting/encoding data via modulated LED lighting and other embodiments may provide receiving/decoding data from the modulated LED lighting by means of a device with a low sampling frequency such as a relatively inexpensive camera (as might be found in a smart phone). Some embodiments are intended for indoor navigation via photogrammetry (i.e., image processing) using self-identifying LED light anchors. In many embodiments, the data signal may be communicated via the light source at amplitude modulating frequencies such that the resulting flicker is not perceivable to the human eye.
