FAQ

What is the Cutoff Wavenumber?
The cutoff wavenumber is the reciprocal of the wavelength above which the waveguide ceases to exist. Cutoff Wavenumber is usually measured using the Diopter for Wave Number. Note that the value of Cutoff Wavenumber is always negative.
Can the Cutoff Wavenumber be negative?
Yes, the Cutoff Wavenumber, measured in Wave Number can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Cutoff Wavenumber?
Cutoff Wavenumber is usually measured using the Diopter[Diopter] for Wave Number. Kayser[Diopter], 1 per Meter[Diopter] are the few other units in which Cutoff Wavenumber can be measured.
