Question

Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering are the types of – 
1. Linear scattering losses
2. Non-linear scattering losses
3. Fibber bends losses
4. Splicing losses

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Linear scattering losses

Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering both result from non-ideal physical properties of the fiber. These losses may be impossible to eradicate. Linear scattering mechanisms cause the transfer of optical power contained within one propagating mode to be transferred linearly into a different mode.
