Real-Time and High-Speed Underwater Photon-Counting Communication Based on SPAD and PPM Symbol Synchronization

Abstract: Photon-counting detectors can increase the range of underwater optical wireless communication (UWOC) by enhancing the detection sensitivity and have thus become an active research area in recent years. However, system performance still needs to be improved in the reported underwater photon-counting communication (UPCC) experiments. In this study, a real-time, high-speed UPCC system was designed and experimentally validated based on a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). A reliable symbol synchronization metho… Show more

“…The blue laser diode (LD), with high power, is gradually becoming the mainstream as the light source in the long-distance UWOC system [5][6][7][8][9][10] . Besides, many researchers employed high-sensitivity optical detectors such as a multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC), single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), and photomultiplier tube (PMT) as receivers to detect weak optical signals [6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

“…In 2021, a real-time UWOC system based on SPAD and pulseposition modulation (PPM) was conducted at a data rate of 6.21 Mbit/s when the received optical power was only −84.3 dBm [11] . However, due to the high implementation cost of real-time communication systems and the absence of detectors with high bandwidth and sensitivity, few real-time UWOC systems support a high data rate of hundreds of megabits per second with a transmission distance of dozens of meters, hindering the practical implementation of UWOC systems.…”

“…Another recent development in the field of underwater communication is the use of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) [8][9][10] and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) [11][12][13][14] receivers. Being sensitive to the arrival of single photons, SPAD and SiPM have exceptional sensitivity and noise performance compared to standard avalanche photodiodes (APD) and are instrumental to achieving new range records in underwater optical communications.…”
