Abstract
Free Space Optics (FSO) has the tremendous potential to provide multi-gigabits-per-second transmission links for future aerospace applications. However, the widespread growth of the technology is hampered by reduced availability issues related to weather influences on the link. Among different weather attenuations, clouds play an important role by causing link outage up to several hours. In this paper the cloud attenuations by different optical wavelengths are compared on the basis of Mie scattering theory so that the optical wavelengths having high immunity to cloud attenuations can be selected for optical wireless communication links.
