Easiest way is looking at the Rx signal information of the device receiving the optical signal. For instance, switches and routers are equipped with removable optical transceivers (SFP) which often have digital diagnostic monitoring ( DDM) capabilities. Available information includes Rx power, temperarure and bias current among others. The other way to easily measure attenuation is by using an optical power meter. In both cases the optical budget of the optical link (in dB), or at least the remote end's Tx power (in dBm) must be known beforehand.

What is meant by attenuation in optical fiber?

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.
