Abstract
Free space optical systems bring many advantages to modern wireless communication compared to classical radio-band systems. Nevertheless, their availability is contrary to fiber optics highly affected by atmosphere. The paper discusses influences of temperature gradients around buildings causing turbulent areas within atmosphere that lead to the spatial change of refraction index and consequently result in bending or widening of transmitted optical beams. Based on measured data, the influences of a nearby building on the free space optical link are discussed.
