Abstract
There has been rapid expansion in broadband wireless communication there has been a demand
for more bandwidth. Researches have been conducted to see the reliability of Free space optics
(FSO). Free space optic fiber has become an important part of modern communication system.
Free space optics communication (FSOC) is modern wireless communication for its high data
rate, high capacity, free license spectrum and excellent security. These systems have been
installed between space-space, space-earth and marine objects. There is great potential for FSO
for in future mobile communication.

Introduction
Researches have been conducted to explore the benefits of FSO as well as it capacity. Free-space
optics (FSO), also known as fiber-free or fibreless photonics, consists of an optical signal
transmitter and a receiver. Its main elements are a radiation source, a laser modulator and optical
devices. Fiber optics cable and FSO are similar in nature. however, medium is the only difference.
FSO sends signals and data through air. Researches have focused on the FSO technology. it can
transmit data relatively easy and simply. With a full duplex system it can transmit and receive data
by wireless means. Beside everything the major advantage of FSO is its cost as well as being easily
upgradable. But to determine performance of FSO link, many factors should be taken into
account, e.g. the operation wavelength, the light source power, the beam divergence angle, the
photodetector detectivity and the aperture diameters of applied optical devices. wavelength for the
FSO data link selection is a very important issue. However, Free Space Optics is sensitive to
atmospheric conditions reducing visibility, e.g. precipitation, fog, haze, or scintillation. These
factors may limit the data link range to a few km or several hundred meters. New developments
in fiber optical devices are making broadband free-space optical transmission an appealing
alternative to RF wireless, and a flexible cost-effective adjunct to optical fiber as well. The FSO
Alliance is comprised of 13 leading companies that provide FSO systems and service providers.
Its member include AirFiber, AT&T, Canon, fSONA, LightPointe, Optical Access, Plaintree,
Qwest, Teligent, Texas Instrument, and Zyoptics. Despite its potential,

Conclusion s
Without a doubt, optical fiber is the most reliable means of providing optical communications.
Free Space Optics is now a viable choice for connecting the LAN, WAN, and MAN. The greatest
limitation of these systems is directly determined by the influence of the atmosphere but With
effective reduction in atmospheric turbulences using different modulation techniques the distance
may be extended up to a larger extent. Free space optical is latest optics use in the world.
