The phrase "attenuate the light" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to reducing the intensity or brightness of light, such as in scientific, technical, or artistic discussions.
Example: "To create a softer ambiance in the room, we decided to attenuate the light by using dimmer switches."
Alternatives: "reduce the light" or "diminish the light".
The fibrous tissue appears bright by OCT and has a low attenuation coefficient, whereas the lipid pool appears dark and strongly attenuates the light [ 24, 25].
It was found that, unless special care was taken to select part of the phantom where the papyrus sheets happened to be thinner than average, the papyrus attenuated the light and, therefore, the OCT signal so significantly that no convincing detail or structure of the papyrus could be seen.
That is possibly because the counter electrode (Pt) and the electrolyte (I¯/I3¯) attenuate the incident light intensity for the backside illumination mode, and also, a rutile phase was easy to be formed at the interface between the barrier layer and Ti substrate when annealed at high temperature, which may have a bad effect on charge collection [24].
Earlier, adequate morphologic examination of the choroid using OCT was not possible mainly due to the presence of pigments in the RPE layer which attenuate the incident light and also due to its posterior location.
A 98% neutral density filter was used to attenuate the excitation light to avoid photobleaching of the samples.
Multiple scattering and absorption attenuate the effective light intensity that reaches internal tissue, diminish the detecting depth, image contrast and image definition.
In other words, the upper layer is not thick enough to fully attenuate the impinging light and the depth of the upper layer (dA) was only a fraction of the dE, dA < dE.
Architectural and optical solutions both to attenuate the harmfulness of light and to improve the visual satisfaction are given issued and their performance is reviewed.
An 810-nm interference filter with a FWHM of 12 nm (S10-810-S; Newplacedorporatinn, Irvine, CA), placed in the path between the collection fiber and the spectrometer, attenuated the excitation light to a level which allowed simultaneous detection of the fluorescence and the excitation light.
