“…Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) has gained a significant research attention as an appropriate and efficient transmission solution for a variety of underwater applications including offshore oil field exploration, oceanographic data collection, maritime archaeology, environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, and port security among others [1]. This rapidly growing interest stems from the recent advances in signal processing, digital communication, and low-cost visible light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LD) that have the lowest attenuation in seawater [2]- [5]. UWOC systems, operating in the blue/green portion of the spectrum in the 400-550 nm wavelength band, promise high data rates, low-latency, high transmission security, and reduced energy consumption, compared with their acoustic counterparts [1], [6], [7].…”

In this work, we present a unified framework for the performance analysis of dual-hop underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems with amplify-and-forward fixed gain relays in the presence of air bubbles and temperature gradients. Operating under either heterodyne detection or intensity modulation with direct detection, the UWOC is modeled by the unified mixture Exponential-Generalized Gamma distribution that we have proposed based on an experiment conducted in an indoor laboratory setup and has been shown to provide an excellent fit with the measured data under the considered lab channel scenarios. More specifically, we derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and the probability density function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in exact closed-form in terms of the bivariate Fox's H function. Based on this CDF expression, we present novel results for the fundamental performance metrics such as the outage probability, the average bit-error rate (BER) for various modulation schemes, and the ergodic capacity. Additionally, very tight asymptotic results for the outage probability and the average BER at high SNR are obtained in terms of simple functions.

“…On the other hand, RF communication in the underwater environment is also limited by the high conductivity of seawater that attenuates the radio waves [16,17]. To circumvent these issues, UWOC has been proposed as an alternative solution to provide a reliable and stable real-time high-data-rate transmission of up to Gbps in the underwater environment with distances of up to hundreds of meters long [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) can offer reliable and secure connectivity for enabling future internet-of-underwater-things (IoUT), owing to its unlicensed spectrum and high transmission speed. However, a critical bottleneck lies in the strict requirement of pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT), for effective recovery of modulated optical signals at the receiver end. A large-area, high bandwidth, and wide-angle-of-view photoreceiver is therefore crucial for establishing a high-speed yet reliable communication link under non-directional pointing in a turbulent underwater environment. In this work, we demonstrated a large-area, of up to a few tens of cm 2 , photoreceiver design based on ultraviolet(UV)-to-blue color-converting plastic scintillating fibers, and yet offering high 3-dB bandwidth of up to 86.13 MHz. Tapping on the large modulation bandwidth, we demonstrated a high data rate of 250 Mbps at bit-error ratio (BER) of 2.2 × 10 −3 using non-return-to-zero on-off keying (NRZ-OOK) pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) 2 10-1 data stream, a 375-nm laser-based communication link over the 1.15-m water channel. This proof-of-concept demonstration opens the pathway for revolutionizing the photodetection scheme in UWOC, and for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) free-space optical communication.

“…5,6 Recently, underwater wireless optical communication using cheap light-emitting diodes (LED) as well as laser diodes (LDs) has been researched. [7][8][9] Comparing the light sources used in these underwater wireless optical communication systems, it is apparent that the LD outperforms LED in terms of data rate. Although it is difficult to transmit long distance, it is possible to solve the problem of interference between symbols related to multi-path propagation and the security problem related to eavesdropping using a point-to-point method that exploits the laser's characteristics of strong directivity at a short distance.…”

In this article, we propose the demonstration of an underwater wireless laser communication link operating at data rates of up to 100 Mbps over a band-limited turbid water channel using a modified pulse position modulation scheme with a sloped pulse. The communication link uses an avalanche photodiode module as the receiver. The bit error rate of a 5.4 3 10 26 by 450-nm blue laser diode in turbid water with 1.4 Nephelometric Turbidity Unit was below the forward error correction limit. Our demonstrated underwater wireless laser communication system is simple to use and maintains a high data transmission rate.
