Consider the interface between a glass slab with n1 = 1.48 and air
1 for which n2 = 1.00. What is the critical angle for light traveling in AP C701.4
the glass?
A light ray traveling in air (n1 = 1.00) is incident on a smooth, flat
slab of crown glass, which has a refractive index n2 = 1.52. If the
2 AP C701.4
incoming ray makes an angle of j1 = 30.0° with respect to the
normal, what is the angle of refraction j2 in the glass?
Consider a multimode silica fiber that has a core refractive index n1
3 = 1.480 and a cladding index n2 = 1.460. Find (a) the critical angle, AP C701.5
(b) the numerical aperture, and (c) the acceptance angle.
Consider the following two multimode fibers: (a) a step-index fiber
with a core index n1 = 1.458 and a core-cladding index difference Δ
4 = 0.01; (b) a parabolic-profile graded-index fiber with the same values AP C701.5
of n1 and index difference.. Compare the rms pulse broadening per
kilometer for these two fibers
Consider a 1-km long multimode step-index fiber in which n1 = 1.480
5 and Δ = 0.01, so that n2 = 1.465. What is the modal delay per length AP C701.6
in this fiber?
Assume a typical value of n = 3.5 for the refractive index of an LED
6 material. What percent of the internally generated optical power is AP C701.6
emitted into an air medium?
A particular LED has a 5-ns injected carrier lifetime. When no
modulation current is applied to the device, the optical output power
7 is 0.250 mW for a specified dc bias. Assuming parasitic capacitances AP C701.6
are negligible, what are the optical outputs at modulation frequencies
of (a) 10 MHz and (b) 100 MHz?
