ACROSS WATER-AIR INTERFACE COMMUNICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A method for transmitting information across a water-air interface with a ultraviolet (UV) beam (230), the method including emitting (1100) the UV beam (230) in a first medium, with a first optical wireless communication device (210); measuring (1102) a scintillation index of the UV beam (230) in a second medium, different from the first medium, at a second optical wireless communication device (250); selecting (1104), based on a value of the scintillation index, a modulation scheme for the UV beam (230); and modulating (1106) the UV beam (230) with the selected modulation scheme. The UV beam has a wavelength in a range of 100 to 400 nm.
