Abstract

The 150-km optical path between the astronomical observatories of Izana on Tenerife and Roque de Los Muchachos on La Palma provides an optimum scenario for on-ground tests of optical communication systems for inter satellite communications. We present calculations of the effects of Saharan dust invasions—one of the most significant disturbances in this region-on the optical attenuation in the 780-880-nm spectral band. © 1992 Optical Society of America.
