Normalised Propagation Constant Formula Elements

Variables
Normalised Propagation Constant
Normalised Propagation Constant is used to describe the behavior of electromagnetic waves or modes within optical waveguides or other guiding structures.
Symbol: b
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Index of Mode
Effective Index of Mode is a way to describe the propagation characteristics of a specific mode (or electromagnetic wave) within a waveguide.
Symbol: ηeff
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Refractive Index of Cladding
Refractive Index of Cladding is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium(surrounding) into another.
Symbol: ηclad
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Refractive Index of Core
The Refractive Index of Core is defined as how the light travels through that medium. It defines how much a light ray can bend when it enters from one medium to the other.
Symbol: ηcore
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
