  • Attenuation
    Attenuation

    In physics, attenuation is the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium. For instance, sunlight is attenuated by dark glasses, and X-rays are attenuated by lead....
    , a reduction in amplitude and intensity of a signal
  • In telecommunications, loss is a decrease in signal in a communications system:
    • Angular misalignment loss
      Angular misalignment loss

      In waveguide design and construction, angular misalignment loss is power loss caused by the deviation from optimum angular alignment of the axes of source-to-waveguide, waveguide-to-waveguide, or waveguide-to-detector....

    • Bridging loss
      Bridging loss

      Bridging loss is the loss, at a given frequency, that results when an Electrical impedance is connected across a transmission line. It is expressed as the ratio, in decibels, of the signal power delivered to a given point in a system downstream from the bridging point prior to bridging, to the signal power delivered to the given point after...

  • Round-trip loss in laser physics refers to energy lost due to scattering or absorption
  • Loss function
    Loss function

    In statistics, decision theory and economics, a loss function is a function that maps an event onto a real number representing the economic cost or regret associated with the event....
    , in statistics, a function representing the cost associated with an event
