Abstract

We evaluate the capacity of a free space optical link under the influence of various atmospheric conditions and turbulence levels. Also the effect of aperture averaging on the capacity is investigated. Results show that in weather conditions such as fog and haze, the capacity decreases significantly. Increasing the receiver aperture causes an increase in the capacity but the rate at which the capacity increases reduces with larger diameters and finally the capacity saturates.
