Description

Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of underwater optical wireless communication, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive distance high-speed underwater optical wireless communication device based on a photomultiplier in underwater optical wireless communication.
Background
With the increasingly deep human activities such as marine resource exploration, oceanographic research, marine environment monitoring and the like, the demand for high-speed underwater communication is increasingly urgent. Compared with the traditional underwater acoustic communication and underwater radio frequency communication, the underwater optical wireless communication has the advantages of low energy consumption, low cost, good hiding performance and the like. By adopting a low-loss window of light in seawater, namely a blue-green light wave band, underwater optical wireless communication can support high-speed communication of hundreds of meters in the deep sea. The existing photoelectric detectors used for underwater optical wireless communication mainly include PIN photodiodes and Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs), but the sensitivity of these photoelectric detectors is not high enough to meet the detection requirement of weak signals, so that the supportable transmission distance is short. Although there are reports of long-distance underwater optical communication using a photomultiplier as a detector, the supported communication rate is low (only Kbps). On the other hand, because the dynamic range of the photomultiplier is very limited, when the transmission distance is short, the photomultiplier is easily damaged by strong incident light power, and a high-speed underwater optical wireless communication method capable of adapting to long and short communication distances is not available at present. In addition, in some long-distance high-speed underwater communication application occasions, such as deep sea applications of submarine communication, communication between an underwater robot and a deep sea work base station, data recovery of the underwater robot from a submarine sensing node and the like, an effective high-speed communication means is still lacked at present.

The output light of the semiconductor laser 7 enters the seawater for transmission after being collimated and expanded by the beam expanding system 8. The divergence angle of the laser is reduced after the laser is expanded, and meanwhile, the alignment difficulty of the light beam at the receiving end is also reduced. In practical applications, the rf signal generating module 3 may be an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG).
