Abstract
This paper demonstrates underwater communication using a green laser with On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation. The study focuses on communication performance between an underwater platform and an air-based platform under varying conditions, including different weather, saline, and clear water environments. A photovoltaic (PV) cell is used as a receiver to detect signals. The experiment analyzes data transmission from air to underwater across various conditions, including with and without sunlight. The results indicate that green lasers are optimal for underwater communication, with improved performance as the water depth increases, making them particularly suitable for underwater communication systems.
