Abstract

The proposed system of a 450 nm blue GaN (Gallium Nitride) laser diode directly modulated by pre-leveled 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM) Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplexing (OFDM)data is implemented to achieve high transmission capacity upto 10.02 Gbits/sec. The simulation analysis will be done under sea water and tap water to enable underwater wireless optical communication(UOWC) over a distance of upto 12 m. The UWOC tap water provide an allowable bit rate decrease from 16.57 to 14.67 Gbps with the transmission distance significantly increased from 2 m to 6 m, exhibit bit/distance decay ratio of −0.236 Gbps/m. By performing Underwater Optical Wireless Communication (UOWC) in sea water, the impurities in sea water scattered the light causing attenuation of the blue laser power. This reduces the transmission capacity with a slightly higher decay ratio −0.410 Gbps/m. There are other noise sources in the sea produced by creatures or by natural and man made activities. All these noise are also taken into consideration so that the ambient noise are eliminated with the help of digital signal processing.
