To achieve long-distance underwater optical wireless communication, a single photon detector with single photon limit sensitivity is used to detect the optical signal at the receiver. The communication signal is extracted from the discrete single photon pulses output from the detector. Due to fluctuation of photon flux and quantum efficiency of photon detection, long-distance underwater optical wireless communication has the characteristics that the link is easily interrupted, the bit error rate is high, and the burst error is large. To achieve reliable video transmission, a joint source-channel coding scheme based on residual distributed compressive video sensing is proposed for the underwater photon counting communication system. Signal extraction from single photon pulses, data frame and data verification are specifically designed. This scheme greatly reduces the amount of data at the transmitter, transfers the computational complexity to the decoder in receiver, and enhances anti-channel error ability. The experimental results show that, when the baud rate was 100 kbps and the average number of photon pulses per bit was 20, the bit error rate (BER) was 0.0421 and video frame could still be restored clearly.

The performance of the underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) system is highly affected by seawater´s inherent optical properties and the solar radiation from sunlight, especially for a shallow environment. The multipath effect and degradations in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to absorption, scattering, and ambient noises can significantly limit the viable communication range, which poses key challenges to its large-scale commercial applications. To this end, this paper proposes a unified model for underwater channel characterization and system performance analysis in the presence of solar noises utilizing a photon tracing algorithm. Besides, we developed a generic simulation platform with configurable parameters and self-defined scenarios via MATLAB. Based on this platform, a comprehensive investigation of underwater channel impairments was conducted including temporal and spatial dispersion, illumination distribution pattern, and statistical attenuation with various oceanic types. The impact of ambient noise at different operation depths on the bit error rate (BER) performance of the shallow UOWC system was evaluated under typical specifications. Simulation results revealed that the multipath dispersion is tied closely to the multiple scattering phenomenon. The delay spread and ambient noise effect can be mitigated by considering a narrow field of view (FOV) and it also enables the system to exhibit optimal performance on combining with a wide aperture.
