This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Absorption Loss - (Measured in Decibel per Meter) - Absorption Loss refers to the attenuation 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.
Thermal Capacity - (Measured in Joule per Kelvin) - Thermal capacity of a material, also known as heat capacity, is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a given amount of that material by a certain amount.
Maximum Temperature Rise - (Measured in Kelvin) - Maximum Temperature Rise is the measurement of maximum temperature the calorimeter can measure.
Optical Power - (Measured in Watt) - Optical Power is a measure of the ability of a lens or optical system to converge or diverge light.
Time Constant - (Measured in Second) - Time constant of a calorimeter refers to the characteristic time it takes for the temperature of the calorimeter to respond to changes in heat flow or heat transfer.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Thermal Capacity: 164 Joule per Kelvin --> 164 Joule per Kelvin No Conversion Required

Why is Fiber Absorption Loss is significant?

Absorption Loss is significant because it leads to the loss of optical power as light travels through an optical fiber. This loss limits the distance over which optical signals can be transmitted effectively.

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).

FAQ

What is 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 and is represented as αabs = (C*T)/(Popt*tc) or Absorption Loss = (Thermal Capacity*Maximum Temperature Rise)/(Optical Power*Time Constant). Thermal capacity of a material, also known as heat capacity, is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a given amount of that material by a certain amount, Maximum Temperature Rise is the measurement of maximum temperature the calorimeter can measure, Optical Power is a measure of the ability of a lens or optical system to converge or diverge light & Time constant of a calorimeter refers to the characteristic time it takes for the temperature of the calorimeter to respond to changes in heat flow or heat transfer.
