Experimental and theoretical investigations in the SB RAS on problems of bistatic underwater optical communication

摘要

Results of theoretical and experimental investigations into problems of underwater optical communication on scattered laser radiation in the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS) are discussed. Theoretical investigations of bistatic communication channels are carried out by statistical simulation of the process of signal propagation from a source to a receiver by the Monte Carlo method. Experiments were carried out under field conditions with different characteristics of radiation sources and receivers, orientations of their optical axes, and immersion depths in water. Ranges of action, probabilities of communication errors, and their SD estimated for winter and spring-and-summer seasons are presented.
