Abstract
Wave-induced beam wander degrades communication performance, which causes a high bit error rate (BER) and packet loss rate (PLR) in water-air OWC. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a real-time beam tracking system utilizing an image pre-processing algorithm and a MobileNetV2-based model to mitigate wave-induced effects in water-air OWC. The tracking system is optimized and compared with the ResNet-based tracking system in terms of tracking and communication performance. For non-tracking cases, the PLR is significantly higher, with values exceeding 20%. With a 1.3-m air path, a zero-packet-loss link is realized by the MobileNetV2-based tracking method at a data rate of 800 Mbit/s and a wave average slope changing rate (ASCR) of 28 deg/sec.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
