parabolic_propagation_constant

ofiber.planar_parabolic.parabolic_propagation_constant(m, lambda0, n1, a, V)

Calculate the waveguide propagation constant beta.

Parameters:

• m – mode number [-]

• lambda0 – wavelength in vacuum [m]

• n1 – centerline index of refraction of waveguide [-]

• Delta – relative refractive index [-]

• a – half thickness of the waveguide [m]

Returns:

beta for the mth mode
