// To find loss in the fiber // Modern Electronic Instrumentation And Measurement Techniques // By Albert D. Helfrick, William D. Cooper // First Edition Second Impression, 2009 // Dorling Kindersly Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 14-2 in Page 393 clear; clc; close; // Given data NA_1 = 0.3; // numerical apertures of Source fiber NA_2 = 0.242; //numerical apertures of receiving fiber //Calculations loss = 20*log10(NA_1/NA_2); printf("The energy that is lost through the cladding of the receiving fiber = %0.2f dB",loss); //Result // The energy that is lost through the cladding of the receiving fiber = 1.87 dB
