| Term (EN) | absorption | 
|---|
| Definition (EN) | In a propagation medium, the conversion of electromagnetic wave energy into another form of energy, for instance heat.
Note. — For optical fibres intrinsic absorption components consist of tails of the ultraviolet and infrared absorption bands. Extrinsic components includes: a) impurities, e.g. the OH-ion and transition metal ions and b) defects, e.g. results of thermal history and exposure to nuclear radiation. |

Napomena — Za optička vlakna unutrašnje komponente apsorpcije sastoje se od krajeva ultraljubičastih i infracrvenih apsorpcionih opsega. Spoljašnje komponente obuhvataju: a) nečistoće, na primjer OH jone i jone prelaznih metala i b) defekte, na primjer rezultate toplotne istorije i izloženost nuklearnom zračenju. |
