Abstract

As underwater sensor nodes greatly find its applications in oceanic offshore exploration, pollution
monitoring, data collection, tactical surveillance, assisted navigation, disaster prevention application.
Unmanned autonomous underwater vehicles are equipped with these sensors to explore the nature oceanic
resources to collect the scientific data along with the collaborative monitoring missions. Since the varying
depths and variety of nature of ocean causes the need for both acoustic and optical networking together in a
single system. Thus various applications which need the Opto-acoustic communication together are discussed in
this paper.
