How to Calculate Absorption Loss?
Absorption Loss calculator uses Absorption Loss = (Thermal Capacity*Maximum Temperature Rise)/(Optical Power*Time Constant) to calculate the Absorption Loss, Absorption Loss or reduction in the intensity of light as it travels through the optical fiber due to the absorption of photons by the fiber material itself. This is one of the primary mechanisms that contribute to signal loss in optical fibers. Absorption Loss is denoted by αabs symbol.
How to calculate Absorption Loss using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Absorption Loss, enter Thermal Capacity (C), Maximum Temperature Rise (T∞), Optical Power (Popt) & Time Constant (tc) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Absorption Loss calculation can be explained with given input values -> 38.98764 = (164*0.65)/(0.098*27.9).
