Acceptance Angle in Optical FIber

`theta = arcsin(1/ n_0 *sqrt( n_c ^2- n_(cl) ^2))`
`(n_0)"Refractive index of medium around core"`
`(n_c)"Refractive index of core"`
`(n_(cl))"Refractive index of cladding"`

The Acceptance Angle in Optical Fiber is found using the following formula: `theta=1/n_0sqrt(n_c^2-n_(cl)^2)`, where:

  • `theta` = acceptance angle
  • `n_0` = refractive index of medium around core
  • `n_c` = refractive index of core
  • `n_(cl)` = refractive index of cladding
