Refractive Index of Cladding Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
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.
Numerical Aperture
Numerical Aperture is a measure of the light-gathering or light-capturing ability of an optical fiber or an optical system.
Symbol: NA
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)

How to Evaluate Refractive Index of Cladding?

Refractive Index of Cladding evaluator uses Refractive Index of Cladding = sqrt(Refractive Index of Core^2-Numerical Aperture^2) to evaluate the Refractive Index of Cladding, The Refractive Index of Cladding formula refers to the optical property that describes how light propagates through the outer layer (cladding) of an optical fiber. It is a measure of the speed at which light travels in the cladding material compared to its speed in a vacuum. Refractive Index of Cladding is denoted by ηclad symbol.
