Abstract
We investigate the effects of optical interference on the performance of free-space optical (FSO) network links. Experiments indicate that interfering laser pulses of varying peak power, wavelength, and repetition rate incident upon FSO transceivers can produce up to a 90% reduction of average network throughput.
