Absorption Coefficient in Opto Electronics Devices Formulas

Absorption Coefficient represents the rate at which a material absorbs light. It is a measure of how strongly a material absorbs radiation per unit length. And is denoted by α_a. Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Meter for Wave Number. Note that the value of Absorption Coefficient is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Absorption Coefficient?

Absorption Coefficient represents the rate at which a material absorbs light. It is a measure of how strongly a material absorbs radiation per unit length. Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Meter for Wave Number. Note that the value of Absorption Coefficient is always positive.

Can the Absorption Coefficient be negative?

No, the Absorption Coefficient, measured in Wave Number cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Absorption Coefficient?

Absorption Coefficient is usually measured using the 1 per Meter[1/m] for Wave Number. Diopter[1/m], Kayser[1/m] are the few other units in which Absorption Coefficient can be measured.
