And keep in mind it takes someone to think out of the box to come up with something like this so it's no surprise you aren't getting any answers. Most people including some scientists don't go out of their comfort range when it comes to ideas.

One negative I see is how far will the light will carry in the water and how many lights you would need to to make difference? It's also possible you could get phytoplankton going well in a small area but would be overwhelmed by anoxic water that comes in via natural infiltration. Another negative would be how long the lights stay clean enough to diffuser optimum amounts of light. Films on objects develop quickly in the water. Just a few thoughts of course and by no means meant to deride your idea.

It's probably something that has to be done to determine it's feasibility and effectiveness. At first in a small pond and with frequent data from an oxygen meter. Probably off a pier or with remote sensors.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
