A Short Survey on Ultraviolet Communication Systems

Abstract

The improvements made in the area of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) has presented the new era of Ultra Violet Communication (UVC) which is used in both land and underwater arrangements. UVC has attracted extreme attention in providing more secure and reliable communication opportunities in the terrestrial environment and the same is been adapted in the underwater environment in order to increase the bit rate and efficiency of the present available systems. This short survey studies the specific uses of UVC in the terrestrial and underwater applications and identifies the future applications of UVC.
