Abstract

Free Space Optics (FSO) is a developing technology for Line of Sight communication that uses light propagation in free space that provides various advantages like high bandwidth, high data rate, ease of installation, free licensing and secure communication. Thus, FSO is a developing technology that can be used in numerous applications for Line of Sight Communication. But the diverse effects like attenuation on FSO communication link due to environmental factors and weather conditions like fog, rain, dust, sand storms, clouds, temperature and the other factors like range, effects of physical obstructions are an essential topic for study which is discussed in this paper. We have done the simulation for the effects of fog and rain on the FSO communication link in Opti system software [1]. This is submitted in leu of FOC assignment at Nirma University.
