How to Evaluate Scattering Loss?

Scattering Loss evaluator uses Scattering Loss = ((4.343*10^5)/Fiber Length)*(Constant Output Optical Power/Output Optical Power) to evaluate the Scattering Loss, Scattering Loss, also known as optical scattering loss, refers to the reduction in optical power or light intensity caused by the scattering of photons as they interact with particles or irregularities in a medium. Scattering is a fundamental optical phenomenon where photons change their direction due to interactions with objects or particles smaller than the wavelength of light. Scattering Loss is denoted by αsc symbol.

FAQs on Scattering Loss

What is the formula to find Scattering Loss?
The formula of Scattering Loss is expressed as Scattering Loss = ((4.343*10^5)/Fiber Length)*(Constant Output Optical Power/Output Optical Power). Here is an example- 39.25222 = ((4.343*10^5)/442.92)*(6.14/153.38).
How to calculate Scattering Loss?
With Fiber Length (l), Constant Output Optical Power (Vsc) & Output Optical Power (Vopt) we can find Scattering Loss using the formula - Scattering Loss = ((4.343*10^5)/Fiber Length)*(Constant Output Optical Power/Output Optical Power).
Can the Scattering Loss be negative?
No, the Scattering Loss, measured in Attenuation cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Scattering Loss?
Scattering 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 Scattering Loss can be measured.
