Abstract

The performance analysis of underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system that employs binary phase shift keying-subcarrier intensity modulation (BPSK-SIM) is investigated in weak oceanic turbulence. BPSK-SIM Gaussian beam and finite sized positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodetector are employed at the transmitter and at the receiver, respectively. Bit error rate (BER) is taken as the performance indicator and in the evaluation of the BER, the required signal power and the aperture averaged scintillation index are obtained respectively by the use of the extended Huygens–Fresnel principle and the Rytov theory. Considering various noise types in underwater turbulence, BER variations are examined versus the oceanic turbulence parameters and the photodetector parameters, namely receiver aperture diameter, PIN-responsivity, noise factor, load resistor, and the electronic bandwidth.
