A multimode step index fiber with a core diameter of 80 μm and a relative index difference of 1.5 % is
operating at a wavelength of 0.85 μm. If the core refractive index is 1.48, estimate the normalized
frequency for the fiber and number of guided modes.
Answer
Here wavelegth
Radius of core
core refractive index=1.48
Putting all value in below equation
normalised frequency of fiber
Now new parameters
the number of guided modes.
(i.e. nearly 3000 guided modes!)
