Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Refractive Index of Cladding - Refractive Index of Cladding is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium(surrounding) into another.
Refractive Index of Core - The Refractive Index of Core is defined as how the light travels through that medium. It defines how much a light ray can bend when it enters from one medium to the other.
Numerical Aperture - Numerical Aperture is a measure of the light-gathering or light-capturing ability of an optical fiber or an optical system.

Refractive Index of Cladding Formula

Refractive Index of Cladding = sqrt(Refractive Index of Core^2-Numerical Aperture^2)
ηclad = sqrt(ηcore^2-NA^2)

What is the relation between refractive index and cladding?

The cladding surrounds the core completely. The refractive index of the core is higher than that of the cladding, so light in the core that strikes the boundary with the cladding at an angle shallower than critical angle will be reflected back into the core by total internal reflection.

How to Calculate Refractive Index of Cladding?

Refractive Index of Cladding calculator uses Refractive Index of Cladding = sqrt(Refractive Index of Core^2-Numerical Aperture^2) to calculate the Refractive Index of Cladding, The Refractive Index of Cladding formula refers to the optical property that describes how light propagates through the outer layer (cladding) of an optical fiber. It is a measure of the speed at which light travels in the cladding material compared to its speed in a vacuum. Refractive Index of Cladding is denoted by ηclad symbol.

How to calculate Refractive Index of Cladding using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Refractive Index of Cladding, enter Refractive Index of Core core) & Numerical Aperture (NA) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Refractive Index of Cladding calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.273666 = sqrt(1.335^2-0.4^2) .

FAQ

What is Refractive Index of Cladding?
The Refractive Index of Cladding formula refers to the optical property that describes how light propagates through the outer layer (cladding) of an optical fiber. It is a measure of the speed at which light travels in the cladding material compared to its speed in a vacuum and is represented as ηclad = sqrt(ηcore^2-NA^2) or Refractive Index of Cladding = sqrt(Refractive Index of Core^2-Numerical Aperture^2). The Refractive Index of Core is defined as how the light travels through that medium. It defines how much a light ray can bend when it enters from one medium to the other & Numerical Aperture is a measure of the light-gathering or light-capturing ability of an optical fiber or an optical system.
