Abstract
underwater communications is the transmission of data in an unguided water medium through wireless carriers such as; optical waves, radio-frequency waves and acoustic waves. Such type of communication system is utilized to enable the realization of the ocean exploration system and other marine monitoring/exploration systems. Seeking for a sustainable setup, the enrolment of energy harvesting sources in these wireless nodes have been presented as a replacement of the short-life-time battery sources. In this paper, there are experimental measurements as well as theoretical studies for two different light harvesters have been conducted underwater with considering the air measurements as a reference. Moreover, Trade-off between cooling effect and light attenuation as well as scattering is tackled where optimum submerging distance is measured for various water types. I-V characteristic curves for the two harvesters are plotted using Keithley 2401 source-meter and artificial calibrated light source. The simulation model is validated using the experimental data, where perfect agreement was observed after considering the experimental parameter.
