Matlab Coding of Step Index Fiber

This document provides formulas and calculations for step index optical fibers, including: 1) The propagation constant β, normalized propagation constant b, and V number which determines if the fiber is single-mode or multi-mode. 2) A graph of the relationship between the normalized propagation constant b and V number. 3) The cut-off wavelength λc. 4) The number of modes Ms traveling in the fiber, which is calculated from the V number.
