Abstract

Free space optical communication is an effective means of communication at high bit rates over short distances. Rapid deployment, lightweight, high security, are important features of this system. However, attenuation due to adverse weather conditions & scattering due to turbulence are to be mitigated. In this paper the performance of a short distance FSO link in the presence of atmospheric turbulence has been evaluated
