Abstract
A system and method involve propagating, from one or more optical sources connected to a platform, more than one optical signal through a surrounding medium towards a reflective surface. Reflected optical signals, representing the propagated optical signals reflected off of the reflective surface, are then detected using a detection system coupled to the platform. An ideal optical wavelength is then selected for optical communication from the platform within the surrounding medium based upon one or more characteristics of the detected reflected optical signals.
