Underwater Wireless Optical Communications Simulation Tool

This code is the modified version of the "PHOTONATOR" simulation tool by William Cox (which is available at http://www.github.com/gallamine/Photonator or  https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/handle/1840.16/7588. )

This code is a Monte Carlo simulation tool to model the laser beam propagation through an underwater channel with both absorption and turbidity, which was used in:

Channel impulse response, frequency responce, and total recieved power at the Rx are obtained from the code.
