The invention discloses an ADO-OFDM (asymmetrical-clipping and DC bias orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) visible light communication system based on an improved algorithm. The system comprises a transmitter end and a receiver end. An ACO-OFDM signal of the transmitter end is transmitted on odd subcarriers, while a DCO-OFDM signal is transmitted on even subcarriers; after IFFT (inverse fast Fourier transform), asymmetrically clipping is carried out on the odd subcarriers, while the signal on the even subcarriers is subjected to DC bias to generate a single-polarity signal; and then, the odd subcarriers and the even subcarriers are merged to form an ADO-OFDM signal.
