When an optical signal of a given wavelength travels in the fiber it looses power. The amount of loss of power per Km length of fiber is called its attenuation.
A=10*LOG10(POUT/PIN) dB/Km
Where POuT is optical power after 1 Km
PIN is th epower launched in the Fiber.
What else can I help you with?
Which cable have less attenuation?
optical fiber
What is meant by attenuation in Optical Fiber Communication?

Non-desructive attenuation for attenuation measurement in optical fiber?
Because race car.
Optical signals in optical cables have short wavelength why?
Because the attenuation of the fiber is much less at those wavelengths.
What is meant by atenuation in fiber optics?
Attenuation in fiber means 'loss of optical power' suffered by the optical signal in fiber itself.
What are different attenuation factors in optical fiber?
There are three types of attenuation in fibe optics cable. 1). Bending Losses 2). Scattering 3). Absorption
What is meant by modes in optical fiber?
An optical modes refer to a specific solution of the Wave Equation which satiates the boundary conditions.
What is the operating frequency of optical fiber?
In Optical Fiber Communication system 1300-1550 nm range wavelengths are used.. Reason for tis s "In this range only we can acheive low attenuation with zero dispersion"
Why is the attenuation of the fiber different with different wavelength?
The attenuation of the fiber is different with different wavelengths because of the inherent material properties and characteristics of the fiber. Different wavelengths of light interact differently with the core and cladding materials of the fiber, leading to varying levels of absorption and scattering. This can result in different attenuation rates for different wavelengths in the fiber optic system.
How a scratch outside of an optical fiber might cause problems?
Fiber optics, using optical fiber, are specially designed to implement total internal reflection. A signal passed from one end of the fiber to the other end of the fiber is a single beam of light that repeatedly bounces off the edges of the fiber until it reaches it's destination. By scratching the outside of an optical fiber, this property can be disrupted causing the signal to be lost.
What form of radiation is used inside optical fibers?
Light is, but not necessarily the visible kind. For glass fibers, we use light in the infrared region, which has wavelengths longer than visible light, typically around 850, 1300 and 1550 nm. Those are used because the attenuation of the fiber is much less at those wavelengths. The attenuation of glass optical fiber is caused by two factors, absorption and scattering. Absorption occurs in several specific wavelengths called water bands due to the absorption by minute amounts of water vapor in the glass. Plastic optical fiber is made from materials that have lower absorption at shorter wavelengths, so red light at 650 nm is often used with plastic fiber.
Why do you use optical?
Low attenuation and superior signal integrity, Large bandwidth, Long lengths. Not affected by EMI, the dielectric nature of optical fiber can eliminate the dangers found in areas of high lightning-strike incidence. Fiber is very secure, hard to hack into, and it is also used as a means of not having to upgrade it for a long time. Only down side is cost.
