Title: Modeling Losses and Interference in Fiber Optic Systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15014545

The transmission characteristics of the optical fiber are of utmost importance for optical telecommunication systems. Indeed, the optical signal experiences all kinds of losses as it propagates and demands the use of regenerators or repeaters along the fiber link, [7]. Attenuation (loss) is a relationship between the optical output power and the optical input power in a fiber optic system. It is a measure of the decay of signal strength, or loss of light power, that occurs as light pulses propagate through the length of the fiber.
