Performance analysis of free space optical communication system in the presence of physical limitations
The fundamental aim of this study is to identify an appropriate connection between atmospheric attenuation and visibility in thick or dense fog. The atmospheric attenuation in optical waves, due to low atmospheric visibility conditions, causes a performance degradation of Free Space Optical (FSO) co...

In this study, the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance for FSO systems is investigated. The BER is evaluated in the presence of atmospheric attenuation, visibility and pointing errors.
