A Review on Atmospheric Effects on Free Space Optical Link

Author : Shaik.Taj Mahaboob 1 A.Sree Madhuri 2

Date of Publication :7th March 2017

Abstract: Free space optics, an emerging technology which is going to revolutionize the high speed communication by providing data rates up to tens of Gbps is grabbing the attention of the researchers to employ it on an operational basis. Although the present day microwave frequency bands support a good quality communication, their speeds are low and they cannot accommodate more data in the available bandwidth as much as the free space optics can. Any communication system operating in free space is vulnerable to the atmospheric attenuation. So the atmospheric effects which degrade the performance of free space optical signal need to be studied in order to renew its standard potential even under bad climatic conditions. . In this paper we discuss some of the atmospheric effects which degrade the standard performances of a Free Space Optical Link at different geographical locations.
