Sažetak
In underwater communication the data transfer is commonly provided by using cooper cables or fiber-optics. Even though these are capable of transporting electrical power and offer a high speed and reliable communication, their use can limit the range and maneuverability of underwater operations and increase the associated risks. Because of this, different underwater wireless communication techniques have been developed by using acoustics, radio frequency and visible light spectrum. When using visible light for underwater communication understanding optical properties of the water is crucial. One of the key parameters that needs to be determined is the attenuation coefficient. In this work the Lambert W function was used to estimate the attenuation coefficient of sea water, a key variable describing optical properties of sea water. The standard procedure of estimating the attenuation coefficient is by fitting the solution of the light penetration equation to optical data. By using the Lambert W function this procedure can be circumvented and the solution can be obtained without the fitting procedure.
