Abstract-Underwater vehicles are typically operated using a tether or a slow acoustic link. We present an underwater optical communication system that enables a high-throughput and lowlatency link to an underwater robot. The optical link allows the robot to operate in cluttered environments without the need for a tether. We demonstrate the performance of the system in a number of experiments which characterize the optical link and demonstrate remote control of the robot using a human input device.

“…Over the past decades, the underwater wireless optical communication sensor network technology has been well developed [1][2][3] and thus provides a new technique for the ocean detection. The underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) is a difficult task, due to the high absorption and scattering undergone by the laser beam.…”

Abstract-In underwater wireless optical communication links, the suspended particles in the water can lead to multiple path transmission of the light, causing the temporal dispersion and attenuation of beam pulse. The scattering phase function is a key parameter to model angle scattering in the Monte Carlo simulation and can be approximated by the commonly used Henyey-Greenstein (HG) phase function, but in turbid sea water environment, the HG phase function cannot match well with the measured value of the particle phase function. In this work, instead of using the HG phase function, we make use of the Petzold's measured data value of the scattering phase function in turbid sea water. We propose a numerical solution for the computing of the scattering angle based on the measured particle phase function and present the difference of effect on temporal dispersion between the measurement and HG phase function. Numerical results show that our model is more accurate than the widely used HG model. An analytic double Gamma function is used to fit the Monte Carlo simulation results, and a good fit is found between the double Gamma function and the Monte Carlo simulations.

“…As well detailed in theoretical studies (Jaruwatanadilok, 2008) (Giles & Bankman, 2005) (Smart, 2005) optical underwater transmission is deeply influenced by turbidity and the received power is highly dependent by the wavelenght of transmitted signal and the dimensions of the particles and substances dissolved in water.…”
