Step 1
36, Δn = 0.025 Using the formula Δn = (n1 - n2) / n1, we can rearrange to find n2/n1 = 0.9975 Therefore, n2 = 1.36 * 0.9975 = 1.3554 Show more…

A single-mode step index fiber has a core diameter of 7 μm and a core refractive index of 1.49. Estimate the shortest wavelength of light which allows single-mode operation when the relative refractive index difference for the fiber is 1%

A single-mode step index fiber which is designed for operation at a wavelength of 1.3 μm has core and cladding refractive indices of 1.447 and 1.442 respectively. When the core diameter is 7.2 μm, confirm that the fiber will permit single-mode transmission and estimate the range of wavelengths over which this will occur.
