It is found that a model roughness spectrum corresponding to frozen in capillary waves gives results in reasonably good agreement with experiments on small core fibers. In particular, the roughness scattering loss is shown to be only weakly dependent on wavelength. Agreement at a larger core size requires a long length-scale cut-off to be introduced to the roughness spectrum. Due to the long range nature of the roughness correlations, the scattering is non Rayleigh in character and cannot be interpreted in terms of a local photon density of states.
