Long-distance and High-speed Underwater Optical Wireless Communication System ~Challenge to 1Gbps x 100m underwater optical wireless communication~

Abstract

This paper shows successful demonstration of underwater optical communication underwater optical wireless communication experiments at the transmission bitrate of 1 Gbps x transmission length of 100 m in the sea depth of 900 m off the coast of Sagami Bay using our developed equipment. We also evaluate optical transmission limits in underwater based on experimental results and theoretical optical attenuation in underwater.
