Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe an underwater optical communication and illumination system employing laser diodes directly encoded with data, including spectrally efficient orthogonal frequency division multiplex quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM-OFDM) data. A broadband light source may be utilized to provide both illumination to an underwater field of interest and underwater optical communication from the field of interest to a remote location.
