Title
Performance Evaluation of Short Range Underwater Optical Wireless Communications for Different Ocean Water Types
Abstract
This paper has presented our interesting in wireless underwater communications for different ocean water types. Recent interest in ocean exploration has brought about a desire for developing wireless communication techniques in this challenging environment. Due to its high attenuation in water, a radio frequency (RF) carrier is not the optimum choice. Acoustic techniques have made tremendous progress in establishing wireless underwater links, but they are ultimately limited in bandwidth. In traditional communication systems, constructing a link budget is often relatively straight forward. In the case of underwater optical systems the variations in the optical properties of ocean water lead to interesting problems when considering the feasibility and reliability of underwater optical links. The main focus of this paper is to construct an underwater link budget which includes the effects of scattering and absorption of realistic ocean water. As well as we have developed the underwater optical wireless communication systems to have shorter ranges, that can provide higher bandwidth (up to several hundred Mbit/s) communications by the assistant of exciting high brightness blue LED sources, and laser diodes suggest that high speed optical links can be viable for short range application. The received signal power, signal to noise ratio, bit error rate, transmitted signal bandwidth, and transmission bit rates are the major interesting parameters for different ocean water mediums as a criteria of the best signal transmission characteristics of short wireless optical communications over wide range of the affecting parameters.
