This document analyzes the performance of a 2.4 Gbps free-space optical (FSO) communication system under different atmospheric conditions over a distance of 10 km. The FSO system was designed and modeled to transmit data using a laser beam that propagates through the atmosphere. Simulation results show that the quality factor and transmission range of the FSO system effectively decrease as the atmospheric conditions change from clear weather to heavy fog. Specifically, the quality factor was found to reduce from 170 to 5 over a range of 2 to 9 km in clear weather, but dropped more sharply under rain and fog conditions. The analysis demonstrates that atmospheric attenuation and turbulence have a significant impact on the performance of FSO systems.
