transverse_misalignment_loss_db

ofiber.transverse_misalignment_loss_db(w1, w2, u)[source]

Calculate the loss due to transverse fiber misalignment.

See Ghatak eqn 8.69

Parameters:

  • w1 – mode field radius of first fiber [m]

  • w2 – mode field radius of second fiber [m]

  • u – transverse misalignment [m]

Returns:

transverse misalignment loss in dB [-]
