Based on the latest research progress of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) technology utilizing fluorescent optical antennas

this paper systematically reviews the structural design of fluorescent optical antennas and their applications in typical scenarios. The design and optimization of three types of fluorescent optical antennas

namely planar

capillary

and plastic types

are elaborated in depth. Their key performances such as bandwidth

coupling efficiency

field of view

and optical gain are also analyzed. Furthermore

the specific applications and performance of this technology in OWC scenarios such as indoor

outdoor

underwater

vehicular and inter-satellite environments are discussed. The technical advantages of fluorescent optical antennas in solving problems such as limited receiving field of view and stringent alignment requirements are clarified. Finally

the challenges and potential research directions faced by the OWC technology based on fluorescent optical antennas in future development are prospected

aiming to provide theoretical basis and technical reference for promoting the development of high-reliability

wide-field-of-view

and low-cost OWC systems.
