In a single mode fiber, the losses due to lateral offset and angular misalignment are given by 0.20 dB and 0.46 dB respectively. Find the total insertion loss

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total insertion loss in a fiber optic system due to multiple sources of loss is found by simply adding the individual losses together. Therefore, the total insertion loss due to lateral offset (0.20 dB) and angular misalignment (0.46 dB) is 0.20 dB + 0.46 dB = 0.66 dB.
