Abstract [en]
People around the globe are immensely trying to connect using light as carrier due to its low power consumption and high data transfer rates. Sound and microwaves are examples of other carriers that can be used, although they aren't nearly as efficient as light. A method of communicating is using light beneath the surface of the water. As the depth of the water increases, the temperature, pressure, and salinity of the water are changed. The refractive index of water is determined by the combination of all of these variable parameters. The goal of this thesis is to establish a relationship between changes in water temperature, salinity, and pressure resulting in changes of the refractive Index of the sea water. This thesis will demonstrate an empirical model of travelling the ultraviolet wave under sea water. We are acknowledging all of the properties that are change as the depth of the water is increasing. MATLAB was used to create a simulation of this scenario. Based on previous model of light traveling which covers the wavelengths between 400-700 nm, we have extended the model to ultraviolet range of light (200-400 nm).We design an experimental set up according to sea water parameters and then the experimental results are compared to the simulation results. The comparison shows the validity of our extension model.
