Tutorial 1 OPTICAL FIBER
1. Would an optical fiber with a core index of 1.58 and a cladding index of 1.48 be able to guide light? 2. What is the numerical aperture of a fiber having a core index of 1.57 and a cladding index of 1.42?
3. A fiber has a numerical aperture of 00.309 . What is the cut-off angle (in degrees) for this fiber if the fiber is surrounded by water ? 4. A fiber surrounded by air has a numerical aperture of 00.268 . Will light entering the fiber at an angle of incidence of 33o remain in the fiber, or will it escape?
