Performance Evaluation of Underwater Wireless Optical Communications Links in the Presence of Different Air Bubble Populations
We experimentally generate air bubble of different sizes and evaluate their effect on the performance of underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. We found that there is a tradeoff between mitigating the deep fade caused by large bubbles and the level of received intensity reduced by small bubbles. In addition, we propose beam expansion technique to improve performance degradation caused by air bubbles.
