Mode Number Formula Elements

Variables
Mode Number
Mode Number indicates the number of half-wavelengths that fit into the given space.
Symbol: m
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Cavity
Length of Cavity is a physical measure representing the distance between the two reflective surfaces (mirrors) of an optical cavity.
Symbol: Lc
Measurement: WavelengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Refractive Index
Refractive Index is a dimensionless quantity that describes how much light is slowed down or refracted when entering a medium compared to its speed in a vacuum.
Symbol: nri
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Photon Wavelength
Photon Wavelength refers to the distance between consecutive peaks (or troughs) in the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of a photon's electromagnetic wave.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: WavelengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
