AbstractIn this paper we will analyze free space optics by short dimension of wavelengths used for optical
(FSO) transmission of halftoned image over Double Generalized transmission. However, FSO transmission manifests some
Gamma (DGG) turbulence channel. First, we will present undesired characteristics that occur during transmission, such
halftoning method, and algorithm for FSO transmission
simulation. Further, we will observe standard performance

criterions of reconstruceted image, such are Bit Error Rate various harmful effects arise due to influence of atmospheric

properties of observed FSO link: link distance, shaping and performance impairment in FSO links, which degrades the link
severity parameters of irradiance and Rytov variance. Presented performance is atmospheric turbulence-induced fading [9].
analysis is very general and encompasses a large number of FSO Time varying spatial fluctuations of the optical beam appear as
transmission scenarios, since Double Gamma-Gamma turbulence

channel model as general turbulence channel model can be
reduced to various turbulence channel models as it special cases. variations are caused by atmospheric turbulence, and are
displayed as irradiance fluctuations of the received signals.
