Relative Attenuation in Fiber Optic Transmission Formulas

Relative Attenuation is defined as the reduction in the intensity or power of light as it passes through a material or medium, often in comparison to a reference material or medium. And is denoted by α_m. Relative Attenuation is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Relative Attenuation is always positive.
