Abstract

In this paper, experimental investigation of terrestrial free space optical communication (TFSOC) at latitude 10.66° and longitude 79.05° under different weather is proposed. Optical signal intensity fluctuations, optical path length, meteorological parameters and wavefront profile study have been measured over a range of visibility (m), temperature (°C), pressure (kPA), relative humidity (%) and wind speed (ms−1) variations. Strhel ratio (SR), bit error rate (BER) and atmospheric turbulence strength (Cn2) are taken into account for the performance analysis of TFSOC link and necessary results are presented.
