We report on the design and experimental characterization of a novel pair of underwater wireless optical modems. Each of them is equipped with a blue LED array as transmitter, an APD photodiode as receiver and a pin photodiode for optical power monitoring. The modems are designed to operate at 10 Mbit/s (10BaseT Ethernet, Manchester-coded signal) in harsh conditions, i.e. in turbid water and with strong sunlight. Successful lab experiments and final sea tests confirm the validity of our approach.

Abstract
We report on the design and experimental characterization of a novel pair of underwater wireless optical modems. Each of them is equipped with a blue LED array as transmitter, an APD photodiode as receiver and a pin photodiode for optical power monitoring. The modems are designed to operate at 10 Mbit/s (10BaseT Ethernet, Manchester-coded signal) in harsh conditions, i.e. in turbid water and with strong sunlight. Successful lab experiments and final sea tests confirm the validity of our approach.File in questo prodotto:
