This is caused by imperfections and asymmetries in the glass fiber core itself and results in random spreading of the optical signal. EXFO's Be-an-Expert Program has produced the world's first animated glossary of fiber optic terms. Including concise definitions and animated sequences, this tool provides a great reference for anyone that wishes to understand fiber terminology.
