Abstract
The purity of water is a critical factor in various industrial applications, including Bathymetric LiDAR; which relies on the transmission and reception of laser beams through water to capture underwater topography. Water quality can affect the performance of LiDAR systems, as impurities and suspended particles lead to light attenuation, impacting the accuracy and detail of the data. The project's objective is to investigate the relationship between water purity and its effects on visible light spectrum lasers, focusing on light attenuation methods and quantitatively identifying the optimal visible light laser for Bathymetric LiDAR. Accurate and detailed underwater mapping relates to fields in defense, security, and space exploration, which includes: submarine navigation, harbor security, and potentially moon subsurface water exploration and mapping. By analyzing impure water on laser performance, we enhance the accuracy and reliability of LiDAR systems in complex settings and contribute to stronger security and new pathways of space exploration.
