Sumario:In this note we discuss shortly how the measurements of attenuationlength of WLS fibers is performed and its results depend on the finedetails of the measurement procedures. We will revisit briefly the propagation of a light ray in an optical fiber and discuss a model forligth attenuation. We will use then thi model to show how theattenuation length depends on the optical couplings of the fibers tothe photomultiplier.
