Attenuation fitting functions

The usual exponential approximation for ultraviolet UV absorption in optical fibers could not fit the attenuation coefficient over a broad spectral range. As the UV absorption spectrum is a result of electronic transitions, we propose a Lorentzian function to model this contribution. Experimental re...

Description
Summary:The usual exponential approximation for ultraviolet UV absorption in optical fibers could not fit the attenuation coefficient over a broad spectral range. As the UV absorption spectrum is a result of electronic transitions, we propose a Lorentzian function to model this contribution. Experimental results show a good agreement. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 51: 2294–2296, 2009; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
