Ultraviolet Light in the Abyssal Plane: Foundations and Applications for Deep-Sea Optical Engineering
Abstract The abyssal plane, occupying the vast majority of the ocean floor, represents one of Earth’s least explored frontiers. Characterized by its high pressure, near-freezing temperatures, and lack of sunlight, it presents substantial challenges to scientific exploration and engineering applications. This dissertation investigates the use of ultraviolet (UV) light in the abyssal environment, focusing on […]
