LP_clad_irradiance
- ofiber.LP_clad_irradiance(V, b, ell)[source]
Calculate the cladding irradiance for a step-index fiber.
See Ghatak equation 8.57. The returned value is the total cladding power divided by the area of the core.
- Parameters:
V – V-parameter for fiber [-]
b – normalized propagation constant [-]
ell – desired fiber mode [-]
- Returns:
total cladding power over core area [-]
