With the ever-increasing demand for high-speed, reliable data transmission, the development of efficient optical communication systems has become a critical area of research. Optical communication offers several advantages over traditional radio frequency (RF) and acoustic methods, including higher bandwidth, lower latency, higher data rate, and greater immunity to electromagnetic interference. These benefits make optical systems particularly appealing for underwater communication, where achieving robust and highdata-rate transmission remains a significant challenge due to the unique limitations added by the underwater channel. This research aims to determine the optimal combination of parameters for efficiently transmitting video frame data through the underwater medium, using results from simulated channel models as a baseline. Utilizing an arbitrary waveform generator, oscilloscope, along with a 520 nm green laser as an optical source, the system is designed to test the effectiveness of different modulation schemes and error correction techniques. MATLAB is employed for video processing, encoding/decoding, modulation/demodulation and interfacing with the waveform generator and oscilloscope, ensuring precise control and analysis of the transmitted and received signals. On-off keying (OOK) Intensity Modulation as well as 4 and 8 order Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) are the modulation techniques under consideration, comparing spectral efficiency and resilience to channel impairments between them. Another focus of this research is evaluating the performance of Reed-Solomon and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) error correction codes to identify the most effective strategy for mitigating transmission errors. By systematically testing these variables, this research seeks to provide insights into the practical implementation of underwater optical communication systems and identify configurations that maximize data throughput and reliability.
