In a high-power underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) system, the bandwidth limitations of high-power optical sources and high-sensitivity detectors and the multipath effect of seawater channels can cause intersymbol interference, which seriously affects the performance of the UWOC system. Based on the attenuation characteristics and time-domain broadening characteristics of underwater wireless optical signals, a dual-mode adaptive switching blind equalization algorithm is proposed; it combines the variable step size constant-to-mode fractional spaced equalizer (FSE) algorithm and the decision directed least-mean-square mode-FSE algorithm to improve the performance of long-distance UWOC systems. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm has antinoise performance under different seawater qualities. In particular, with a bit error rate performance of 10 − 4 in coastal seawater, the signal-to-noise ratio of the proposed algorithm is 5.2 dB lower than the traditional constant-to-mode decision directed least-mean-square algorithm and 9.2 dB lower than that when the algorithm is not equalized.
