abstract = "Due to their increased resilience to turbulence and scattering by aerosols or droplets, mid- and long-infrared free-space optical links are gaining recognition as an advantageous technology in challenging environmental conditions compared to those operating at shorter wavelengths, enabling groundbreaking applications like chaos-based secure optical communication. This research numerically investigates the evolution of a chaotic carrier during propagation in the presence of fog, presenting quantitative assessments of attenuation and temporal pulse elongation. The results showcase a better preservation of the properties of chaos when utilizing longer wavelengths, demonstrating enhanced performance and ensuring physical-layer security in adverse environmental conditions.",
