An 82-m 9 Gb/s PAM4 FSO-POF-UWOC Convergent System
摘要： With the increasing demands in free-space/underwater environmental monitoring, disaster precaution, and manufacturing industry applications, free-space optical (FSO)-plastic optical fiber (POF)-underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) convergence is designed to be a promising framework for providing long-haul free-space with underwater links. An 82-m 9 Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) system employing a 405-nm blue-light injection-locked laser diode (LD) is thereby offered and practically demonstrated. Results reveal that a 1.8-GHz 405-nm blue-light injection-locked LD can be effectively applied for a 9 Gb/s PAM4 signal transmission over 50 m FSO link, 30 m graded-index (GI)-POF transportation, and 2 m clear ocean underwater channel. To the authors’ understanding, this study is the first to practically build an 82-m 9 Gb/s PAM4 FSO-POF-UWOC convergent system that effectively constructs a long-haul optical wireless-wired-wireless link using doublet lenses, GI-POF, and optical beam reducer. The performances of the proposed convergent systems are analyzed by bit error rate and non-return-to-zero eye diagram in real-time over an 82-m transport. This framework is the leading one to establish a long-haul FSO-POF-UWOC convergent system with qualified transmission performances. It guides a promising way to facilitate wide applications in the convergence of FSO, POF and UWOC.

Performance studies of MIMO based DCO-OFDM in underwater wireless optical communication systems
摘要： The research in underwater communication system is focused towards wireless networks in view of recent developments in wireless technology and increasing need for deep sea data mining. The underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) have more advantages for short-range wireless links due to very high bandwidth and data rate than acoustic communication. Although UWOC offers high capacity links at low latencies, they suffer from limited communication range due to various distinctive characteristics of underwater channel. A major degrading effect associated with the underwater channel is turbulence-induced fading. To mitigate this fading and to extend the viable communication range, spatial multipath diversity techniques can be adopted over UWOC links. The proposed work evaluates the performance of a multicarrier modulation scheme, i.e., MIMO based DC biased Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) for underwater wireless optical channel. The simulation of MIMO-DC biased optical OFDM technique employing spatial diversity in underwater optical communication is a novel approach towards the determination of an optimal modulation technique for underwater optical wireless channels. The performance is evaluated based on the various parameters such as Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Throughput and Bit Error Rate (BER). A simple experiment is conducted to demonstrate the BER performance assessment for different link distance of 0.45 m and 1.5 m with different transmitter and receiver configurations (SIMO and MIMO) for both clear water and coastal water using MIMO DCO OFDM technique.

Toward Long-Distance Underwater Wireless Optical Communication Based on A High-Sensitivity Single Photon Avalanche Diode
摘要： In this study, we built a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) receiver based underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system. The bit error rate (BER) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of UWOC with different distances and data transmission rates were obtained. Based on the water attenuation coefficient of 0.12 m-1, a series of neutral density (ND) filters were exploited to attenuate the light output power from the blue laser diode (LD) to simulate the long distance UWOC. The maximum estimated distances of 144 m and 117 m with corresponding BERs of 1.89 × 10-3 and 5.31 × 10-4 at data transmission rates of 500 bps and 2 Mbps were acquired in UWOC system using on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme, respectively. Furthermore, we compared the differences between free-space and underwater channels, and a divergence angle of ~1.02 mrad was measured experimentally at a distance of 50 m in the free space. The long UWOC distances obtained in this study partly benefit from high sensitivity SPAD, the small laser divergence angle and low light attenuation. This study provides an approach to achieve long distance UWOC using SPAD.

A Review on Practical Considerations and Solutions in Underwater Wireless Optical Communication
摘要： Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) has attracted increasing interest in various underwater activities because of its order-of-magnitude higher bandwidth compared to acoustic and radio-frequency technologies. Testbeds and pre-aligned UWOC links were constructed for physical layer evaluation, which verified that UWOC systems can operate at tens of gigabits per second or close to a hundred meters of distance. This holds promise for realizing a globally connected Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT). However, due to the fundamental complexity of the ocean water environment, there are considerable practical challenges in establishing reliable UWOC links. Thus, in addition to providing an exhaustive overview of recent advances in UWOC, this paper addresses various underwater challenges and offers insights into the solutions for these challenges. In particular, oceanic turbulence, which induces scintillation and misalignment in underwater links, is one key factor in degrading UWOC performance. Novel solutions are proposed to ease the requirements on pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) for establishing robustness in UWOC links. The solutions include light-scattering-based non-line-of-sight (NLOS) PAT-relieving communication modality as well as scintillating-fiber-based photoreceiver and large-photovoltaic cells as the optical signal detectors. Naturally, the dual-function photovoltaic–photodetector device readily offers a means of energy harvesting for powering up future IoUT sensors.

166 Gbps data rate for underwater wireless optical transmission with single laser diode achieved with discrete multi-tone and post nonlinear equalization
摘要： In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a 450-nm laser underwater wireless optical transmission system by using adaptive bit-power loading discrete multi-tone (DMT) and Volterra series based post nonlinear equalization. Post nonlinear equalization mitigates the nonlinear impairment of the UWOC system. By incorporating post nonlinear equalization with a 3rd-order diagonal plane kernel, the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be improved by ~2 dB compared with a linear equalization method. The measured transmission capacity of the UWOC system is 16.6 Gbps over 5 m, 13.2 Gbps over 35 m, and 6.6 Gbps over 55 m tap water channel, with bit error rates (BERs) below the standard hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC) limit of 3.8 × 10?3. The used electrical signal bandwidth is 2.75 GHz, corresponding to electrical spectrum efficiency of ～6 bit/s/Hz. The distance-datarate product reaches 462 Gbps*m at 35 m tap water transmission. To the best of our knowledge, both the data rate and distance-data rate product are the largest reported for single laser diode.

Tapping underwater wireless optical communication in pure water and natural Dead-Sea ultra-high-salinity water by diffraction grating
摘要： Although underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) receives much interest lately, security issues associated with it get little attention. In this paper, we show how a message communicated using UWOC can be eavesdropped without a sender's or addressee's awareness, by employing a diffraction grating. We also analyze the propagation of multiple diffracted Gaussian beams in water, and show for the first time that UWOC is feasible even in natural ultra-salty water taken from the Dead-Sea. We evaluate how far from the addressee the message could be eavesdropped, and discuss different possibilities of tapping the channel – one from the air and one underwater.
