By off the shelf, is this simply taking a fiber-optic card, attaching external LED (CREE 4 for some real throw), and directing it over line of sight?
Nice idea. Android app for sending and receiving Morse works similarly, if brightly using the camera’s led flash to emit.
More fun.

Many moons ago, back in high school we used to build transceivers using flashlight bulbs for communicating. Not much fidelity to them, but fun and you could use stronger bulbs with higher voltages and lenses for greater range.
LEDs are already pretty strong off-the-shelf, and look at the inherent range a simple LED flashlight already has.
