摘要
Scattering theory has been used to determine the effect of various defects on the scattering loss of As2S3 glass fibers. The scattering is related to the particle shape, size, relative refractive index, and wavelength of light. Bubbles possess the highest relative refractive index and therefore the highest scattering factor. For a given particle size and wavelength, the scattering decreases in the order bubbles>carbon>SiO2>Al2O3>AS2S3. The calculations have been used to predict the maximum tolerable number of defects to obtain low attenuation equal to 10 dB/km at 5.0 mum.
