Consider a step-index fiber for which n1 = 1.5, n2 = 1.30 and a = 25µm. What is the maximum value of numerical aperture.
Given, n1=1.5,n2=1.30n_1=1.5,n_2=1.30n1=1.5,n2=1.30
The numerical aperture is-
NA=n12−n22NA=\sqrt{n_1^2-n_2^2}NA=n12−n22
=(1.51)2−(1.49)2=2.28−2.22=0.06=0.245=\sqrt{(1.51)^2-(1.49)^2}=\sqrt{2.28-2.22}=\sqrt{0.06}=0.245=(1.51)2−(1.49)2=2.28−2.22=0.06=0.245
