Absorption Loss in Fiber Optic Transmission Formulas

Absorption Loss refers to the attenuation or reduction in the intensity of light as it travels through the optical fiber due to the absorption of photons by the fiber material itself. And is denoted by α_abs. Absorption Loss is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Absorption Loss is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Absorption Loss?

Absorption Loss refers to the attenuation or reduction in the intensity of light as it travels through the optical fiber due to the absorption of photons by the fiber material itself. Absorption Loss is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Absorption Loss is always positive.

Can the Absorption Loss be negative?

No, the Absorption Loss, measured in Attenuation cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Absorption Loss?

Absorption Loss is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter[dB/m] for Attenuation. Neper per Meter[dB/m], Decibel per Kilometer[dB/m] are the few other units in which Absorption Loss can be measured.
