relative_refractive_index

ofiber.relative_refractive_index(n_core, n_clad)[source]

Calculate the relative refractive index (Delta) for an optical fiber.

Parameters:
  • n_core – the index of refraction of the fiber core [-]

  • n_clad – the index of refraction of the fiber cladding [-]

Returns:

the relative refractive index (Delta) [-]
