Cover Story: In underwater optical wireless communications, scattering of the propagating light beam results in intensity and phase variations, which limit the transmission link range and the channel bandwidth, respectively. The scattering of photons propagating through the channel is a random process, which results in the channel-dependent scattering noise. In dirtier waters or over longer transmission link spans, more photons will experience scattering due to particles, air bubbles, etc., thus resulting in the increased scattering noise coefficient, which cannot be ignored, and therefore should be considered.
