Experimental Demonstration of High-Sensitivity Underwater Optical Wireless Communication Based on Photocounting Receiver
In this paper, we propose a high-sensitivity long-reach underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system with an Mbps-scale data rate. Using a commercial blue light-emitting diode (LED) source, a photon counting receiver, and return-to-zero on–off keying modulation, a receiver sensitivity of...

| Sumario: | In this paper, we propose a high-sensitivity long-reach underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system with an Mbps-scale data rate. Using a commercial blue light-emitting diode (LED) source, a photon counting receiver, and return-to-zero on–off keying modulation, a receiver sensitivity of −70 dBm at 7% FEC limit is successfully achieved for a 5 Mbps intensity modulation direct detection UOWC system over 10 m underwater channel. For 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps data rates, the receiver sensitivity is enhanced to −76 dBm and −74 dBm, respectively. We further investigate the system performance under different water conditions: first type of seawater (<i>c</i> = 0.056 m<sup>−1</sup>), second type (<i>c</i> = 0.151 m<sup>−1</sup>), and third type (<i>c</i> = 0.398 m<sup>−1</sup>). The maximum distance of the 2 Mbps signal can be extended up to 100 m in the first type of seawater. |
