Theory of Optical Fibers
A short introduction to the theory of optical fibers. In this episode I briefly discuss
launching light into the fiber, acceptance cone, numerical aperture
fabrication
characteristic equation (Hondros equation)
normalized frequency and cutoff frequency for TE, TM and HE11, HE12, etc. modes
characteristic equations for TE and TM modes
mode designation (TE, TM, HE, EH)
LP modes (Linearly Polarized modes)
