How to Evaluate Luneburg Lens Refractive Index?

Luneburg Lens Refractive Index evaluator uses Luneburg Lens Refractive Index = sqrt(2-(Radial Distance/Radius of Luneburg Lens)^2) to evaluate the Luneburg Lens Refractive Index, Luneburg Lens Refractive Index is the gradient refractive index which means it varies with radial distance from the center of the lens. The refractive index is highest at the center of the lens (r=0) and decreases as you move toward the outer edge of the lens. Luneburg Lens Refractive Index is denoted by ηl symbol.
