Abstract

Under water optical communication (UWOC) is an effective alternative technology to meet new demands. In underwater communication Radio frequency (RF) and acoustical techniques are suffer from various drawbacks. Laser based communication is a potential technique for high bandwidth Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) because of its high data transfer rate, immunity to interference and jamming. In this experimental demonstration Under Water Optical Communication using red laser is proposed. In this study, performance of the channel over various modulation techniques is characterized based on the data acquired. A comparative study on the effect of laser beam is carried out and the suitable modulation technique for UWOC is determined by comparing Bit Error Rate (BER), data transmission rate and Signal to Noise Ratio.
