Rayleigh Scattering in Optical Fiber Design Formulas

Rayleigh Scatteringis a phenomenon in optics that describes the scattering of light or other electromagnetic waves by particles or objects much smaller than the wavelength of the light. And is denoted by α_R. Rayleigh Scattering is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Rayleigh Scattering is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Rayleigh Scattering?

Rayleigh Scatteringis a phenomenon in optics that describes the scattering of light or other electromagnetic waves by particles or objects much smaller than the wavelength of the light. Rayleigh Scattering is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Rayleigh Scattering is always positive.

Can the Rayleigh Scattering be negative?

No, the Rayleigh Scattering, measured in Attenuation cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Rayleigh Scattering?

Rayleigh Scattering 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 Rayleigh Scattering can be measured.
