How to Calculate Scattering Loss?
Scattering Loss calculator uses Scattering Loss = ((4.343*10^5)/Fiber Length)*(Constant Output Optical Power/Output Optical Power) to calculate the Scattering Loss, Scattering Loss, also known as optical scattering loss, refers to the reduction in optical power or light intensity caused by the scattering of photons as they interact with particles or irregularities in a medium. Scattering is a fundamental optical phenomenon where photons change their direction due to interactions with objects or particles smaller than the wavelength of light. Scattering Loss is denoted by αsc symbol.
How to calculate Scattering Loss using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Scattering Loss, enter Fiber Length (l), Constant Output Optical Power (Vsc) & Output Optical Power (Vopt) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Scattering Loss calculation can be explained with given input values -> 39.25222 = ((4.343*10^5)/442.92)*(6.14/153.38).
