Study of Under Water Optical Communication System Under the Influence of Turbulence
摘要
Due to the ocean’s size and relative lack of exploration, underwater communication technologies are highly desired for subaquatic environment activities. The ten-meter long and few gigabit per second range optical communication system is practical and has an exciting prospect when compared to the currently available but low data rate (a few kilobits per second) acoustic technology and limited distance (a few metres) radio frequency communication schemes. The visible range’s high bandwidth and minimal attenuation effect are utilised by the underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) method for a variety of applications, including seafloor and offshore exploration, oil pipe control and maintenance, and pipeline leak detection. However, the underwater environment’s attenuation, scattering, and turbulence effects present the biggest obstacles to the development of UWOC systems. The underwater optical channel is difficult to predict because of the temperature, salt, and bubbles, which also reduce the quality and range of optical beam transmission. In this paper, we investigated underwater turbulence generated and induced by turbulence, air bubbles, temperature fluctuations, and salinity in the UWOC systems.
