Abstract
Propagation of electromagnetic waves through fog is investigated experimentally. Free-space optical communication systems operating with 830 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths are utilized to measure received power fluctuations due to scattering on fog particles. Several fog attenuation events were observed in between January and May of 2009 on experimental paths. Fog attenuation values measured at both wavelengths are compared as well as bit error performance.
