Attenuation in Optical Fiber
Optical fibers are used to transmit signals using light over large distances. Attenuation in optical fibers occurs when the light intensity is reduced as it propagates through the fiber. It is a type of optical loss and it limits the distance over which it can travel.
Types of Attenuation in Optical Fiber
There are two types of attenuation in optical fiber,
- Intrinsic Attenuation
- Extrinsic Attenuation
Attenuation
In this article, we will be discussing about attenuation. We will also discuss about attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will look into the various factors that causes attenuation in optical fiber and networking. We will discuss about attenuation coefficient. We also will discuss how can we measure attenuation and the methods that are available to measure. In addition to this, we will discuss how can attenuation be prevented. We will also compare attenuation with amplification and see their differences. Later in this article, we will discuss about the various advantages, disadvantages and application of attenuation.
