ECE532 Sheet 2

1. The document contains 10 problems about calculating fiber optic properties such as numerical aperture, acceptance angle, relative refractive index, number of modes, cutoff wavelength, and core radius for single mode fibers. Characteristics given include core and cladding refractive indices, diameters, wavelengths, and relative refractive indices. Calculations require using the formulas for numerical aperture, acceptance angle, and cutoff wavelength.

(b) Relative refractive index and (c) the acceptance angle.
2- A fiber has the following characteristics: n1=1.35(core index) and
relative refractive index=2%. Find the N.A. and the acceptance
angle.

angle of 75%. Its cladding index is 1.38. Find its core index.

and the relative refractive index is 0.014. Find the numerical
aperture and the critical angle at the core-cladding interface for
