Scattering Loss in Fiber Optic Transmission Formulas

Scattering Loss is the reduction in optical power or light intensity caused by the scattering of photons as they interact with particles or irregularities in a medium. And is denoted by α_sc. Scattering Loss is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Scattering Loss is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Scattering Loss?

Scattering Loss is 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 Loss is usually measured using the Decibel per Meter for Attenuation. Note that the value of Scattering Loss is always positive.

Can the Scattering Loss be negative?

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

What 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.
