Underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) is a wireless communication technology that uses visible light to transmit data in underwater environment. Compared to radio-frequency (RF) and acoustic underwater techniques, UWOC has many advantages including large information bandwidth, unlicensed spectrum and low power requirements. This review paper provides an overview of the latest UWOC research. Additionally, we present a detailed description of transmitter and receiver technologies which are key components of UWOC systems. Moreover, studies investigating underwater optical channel models for both simple attenuation and the impact of turbulence including air bubbles and inhomogeneous salinity and temperature are also described. Future research challenges are identified and outlined.

A novel ZnO dry etching approach is introduced using reactive ion beam etching of thick sol-gel ZnO layers for controlled nanodisk/nanocone array fabrication. In this approach the same system can be used for the colloidal lithography mask (silica particles) size reduction by a fluorine-based chemistry and etching of the ZnO nanostructures by a CH 4 /H 2 /Ar chemistry. This resulted in a ZnO:SiO 2 etch selectivity of ∼3.4 and etch rate of ∼56 nm/min. Thick sol-gel ZnO layers, nanodisk arrays and (truncated) nanocone arrays were fabricated and their optical properties analyzed by finite-difference time-domain simulations and spectrally-resolved total/specular reflectivity measurements. The demonstrated broadband omnidirectional anti-reflection, controlled nanostructure period/geometry and low absorption in the visible-NIR spectrum makes these sol-gel ZnO nanostructures very interesting for many optoelectronic applications, including photovoltaics. ZnO is a wide bandgap (∼3.37 eV at room temperature) II-VI semiconductor. Predominantly it crystalizes in the Wurtzite crystal structure and bulk ZnO has a refractive index of n ≈ 1.9-2.2 in the NIR-visible wavelength range. Some of the features of ZnO interesting for photovoltaic applications are its high transparency in the visible-NIR spectrum, a wide bandgap, a large exciton binding energy (60 meV at room temperature), non-centrosymmetric structure, strong room temperature luminescence and biocompatibility. 1,2ZnO has been studied extensively as a candidate for a number of applications, e.g., transparent conductive electrodes, optical waveguides, piezo-electric transducers, acoustic wave devices, conductive gas sensors, solar cell windows and biosensing. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Here, a sol-gel method has been developed and used for the fabrication of (relatively) thick porous polycrystalline ZnO layers. A similar method has already been reported for thin films by, e.g., Gohdsi et al. 34 and Choudhury et al. 44 Here the method has been extended for obtaining well-defined thick ZnO films (up to ∼2 μm) by using a sequential drop-cast approach in a 'vacuum' environment. The 'building' of these sequential ZnO layers to one thick layer provides a method to tune specific layer thicknesses on the micro/nanoscale. Other approaches for obtaining thick porous ZnO layers have been reported. [45][46][47] The sol-gel method is attractive since it is simple, cheap and straight forward. In addition, this method offers the flexibility to provide ZnO layers on a variety of surfaces.

For other types of substrates dense sol-gel layers, composed of non-specific direction, can still be obtained. In this work, thick ZnO layers have been fabricated and nanostructured on a Si substrate. These laye...
