Abstract: The overview of the principles of organizing underwater wireless optical communication is presented in the paper. The basic features of the optical communication system design with the usage of laser and LED emitters working in the visible range, as well as using various types of modulation, are considered. A comparative review of the developments of underwater wireless optical communication systems, operating at distances up to one hundred meters and with data transfer rates up to tens of Gbit/s, is presented. In addition, a comparative review of design of underwater optical modems is considered. It is shown, that the further prospect of their development is the combination of various methods of underwater wireless communication, including the use of MIMO technology.

Keywords: underwater optical communication, optical communication in the visible range, optical modem for underwater communication, underwater communication system
