Note 1: Ionospheric scattering and Rayleigh scattering are examples of material scattering.
Note 2: In an optical fiber, material scattering is caused by micro-inhomogeneities in the refractive indices of the materials used to fabricate the fiber, including the dopants used to modify the refractive index profile[?].
