This paper analyzes various loss mechanisms in single mode fiber (SMF) used for optical fiber communication, focusing on attenuation effects from absorption, scattering, and fiber bending. It highlights recent advancements in fiber optics, the importance of reducing losses, and provides simulations that illustrate the impact of Rayleigh scattering, stimulated Brillouin scattering, and stimulated Raman scattering on signal performance. The study concludes with a comparison of different types of scattering losses and their implications for communication efficiency over optical fibers.
