  2. Optical attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_attenuator

    An optical attenuator, or fiber optic attenuator, is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise variable, and continuously variable.

  3. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

    Attenuation in fiber optics, also known as transmission loss, is the reduction in the intensity of the light signal as it travels through the transmission medium. Attenuation coefficients in fiber optics are usually expressed in units of dB/km. The medium is usually a fiber of silica glass [f] that confines the incident light beam within ...

  4. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    Attenuation in fiber optics, also known as transmission loss, is the reduction in intensity of the light beam (or signal) with respect to distance travelled through a transmission medium. Attenuation coefficients in fiber optics usually use units of dB/km through the medium due to the relatively high quality of transparency of modern optical ...

  5. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    The transmission distance of a fiber-optic communication system has traditionally been limited by fiber attenuation and by fiber distortion. By using optoelectronic repeaters, these problems have been eliminated. These repeaters convert the signal into an electrical signal and then use a transmitter to send the signal again at a higher ...

  6. Radiation effects on optical fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_effects_on...

    In the professional literature, the effect is often named Radiation Induced Attenuation (RIA), or Radiation-induced darkening. The loss of power or 'darkening' occurs because the chemical bonds forming the optical fiber core are disrupted by the impinging high energy resulting in the appearance of new electronic transition states giving rise to additional absorption in the wavelength regions ...

  7. Optical communications repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_communications...

    An optical communications repeater is used in a fiber-optic communications system to regenerate an optical signal. Such repeaters are used to extend the reach of optical communications links by overcoming loss due to attenuation of the optical fiber.
