    This document is a lab manual describing an experiment to determine the numerical aperture of a multimode optical fiber. It provides the necessary apparatus, safety learning objective, theory behind how numerical aperture is calculated using acceptance angle and fiber diameter. It also includes a table of measurements taken at different distances between the fiber and detector to calculate the numerical aperture. The numerical aperture determined for the given multimode fiber was 0.65.

    Optical Fiber Characterization

    Apparatus available:

    Diode laser,
    Optical fiber,
    Laser – Fiber coupler,
    Optical rail,
    Pinhole photo detector,
    Power supply for laser and Detector output measurement unit.

    SLO:
    To determine numerical aperture of a given multimode optical fiber.

    Theory:

    A multi-mode optical fiber will only propagate light that enters the fiber within a
    certain cone, known as the acceptance cone of the fiber. The half-angle of this cone is called
    the acceptance angle, θa.

    Acceptance angle θa = tan-1 (R/Z)

    where, D is the diameter of far field intensity at 5% intensity level of the maximum attainable
    intensity and Z is the distance between the detector and the fiber output end.

    NA = Sin θa
