脉冲展宽下水下激光PPM信号解调方法的研究

在水下激光脉位调制(PPM)通信中,脉冲的时域展宽容易导致时隙串扰,进而严重影响通信质量。针对这一问题,对光PPM取样信号最大似然时隙(MLC)解调和最大累加计数样值(MAS)解调进行了改进。并根据激光脉冲水下传输后其能量分布的特点,在MAS解调的基础上,提出最大变权重累加计数(MVA)解调。计算机仿真结果表明,相比MAS解调,MVA解调时能明显改善时隙串扰情况下的PPM信号解调性能,并且对水下光信道的随机性有较好的自适应能力,证明了MVA解调方法的有效性,对水下激光无线通信的应用具有重要的实际意义。

大气湍流中超短高斯激光脉冲的时间域展宽模型研究

穿过大气湍流的高斯激光脉冲在时间域的展宽行为与高斯脉冲通过理想高斯滤波器后的时域展宽行为相似。因此,为了激光通信信道仿真的需要,提出用级联巴特沃斯滤波器来逼近理想高斯滤波器的方法对这种时间域上的展宽行为进行建模。逼近后的高斯滤波器的3dB频率点与大气湍流的物理参数(包括折射率结构常数和湍流外尺度)和传播几何路径长度联系在一起,从而将高斯脉冲的展宽与所通过的大气湍流环境参数相结合并得到了模拟高斯脉冲展宽的解析表达式。该模型和由模型参数表示的高斯脉冲展宽的解析表达式不仅在湍流弱起伏区有效,而且在从弱起伏到中等起伏再到强起伏的整个区域中都有效。

Effect of time profile of laser pulse on the excitation of sound signals in a liquid with a series of laser pulses

We have studied the sound generation with high repetition rate pulsed laser. We have solved the inhomogeneous wave equation for acoustic pressure in a liquid generated by a laser, using Green’s function formalism and convolution technique. To obtain the maximum pressure of the sound waves, we found the conditions on repetition rate and on period of laser pulse of various shapes. Our analysis shows that the sound generated in a liquid with a series of laser pulses is highly affected by the time profile of the pulses besides other parameters, namely laser beam diameter, laser beam optical wavelength, repetition rate and period of laser pulse. This effect is pronounced particularly in frequency domain. We found that the noise of higher harmonics in the generated sound can be greatly removed with the proper choice of the time profile of the laser pulses. It is found that the pressure is generated around the fundamental frequency for the half-sine and rectangular pulses, with the proper choice of repetition rate and period of pulse. The application of the present analysis for underwater communication is pointed out.

52 m/9 Gb/s PAM4 plastic optical fiber-underwater wireless laser transmission convergence with a laser beam reducer

A 52 m/9 Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation(PAM4) plastic optical fiber(POF)-underwater wireless laser transmission(UWLT) convergence with a laser beam reducer is proposed. A 52 m/9 Gb/s PAM4 POFUWLT convergence is practically demonstrated with the application of a laser beam reducer to reduce the collimated beam diameter. A 50 m graded-index(GI)-POF is employed as an underwater extender to efficiently enhance the coverage of UWLT. The performances of PAM4 POF-UWLT convergence in view of bit error rate(BER) and eye diagrams improve with the decrease of the collimated beam diameter because of the small amount of light absorbed by clear ocean water. Competent BER and eye diagrams(three independent eye diagrams) are achieved over a 50 m GI-POF transmission with a 2 m clear ocean water link.     

Underwater speech communications with a modulated laser

A novel speech communications system using a modulated laser beam has been developed for short-range applications in which high directionality is an exploitable feature. Although it was designed for certain underwater applications, such as speech communications between divers or between a diver and the surface, it may equally be used for air applications. With some modification it could be used for secure diver-to-diver communications in the situation where untethered divers are swimming close together and do not want their conversations monitored by intruders. Unlike underwater acoustic communications, where the transmitted speech may be received at ranges of hundreds of metres omnidirectionally, a laser communication link is very difficult to intercept and also obviates the need for cables that become snagged or broken. Further applications include the transmission of speech and data, including the short message service (SMS), from a fixed installation such as a sea-bed habitat; and data transmission to and from an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), particularly during docking manoeuvres. The performance of the system has been assessed subjectively by listening tests, which revealed that the speech was intelligible, although of poor quality due to the speech algorithm used.
