Note the advantage of the single mode fiber except where an LED is used at the short
wavelength.

Problem 3: A fiber has an NA =0.2588. A light source coupled to it emits 75% of its light
into a60

full-cone angle, 50% into a30

cone, and 25% in to a15

cone. What is
the coupling efficiency when this source and fiber are connected?

0.2588 sin NA = =
