In: Physics
a step-index optical fiber with a core diameter of 80μm has a relative refractive index difference of 1.5% with a core refractive index of 1.48 at a wavelength of 850nm. how many modes in the optical fiber?
To find the modes in optical fiber, we have to find the normalized frequency or V-number.
Given,
