of angles over which the system can accept or emit light.

18. Measurement of Numerical aperture and attenuation constant of optical fiber
The maximum angle within which light will be accepted into and guided through optical fiber is
NA = n0 Sin (αmax)
= (n12 – n22)½
= Sin (tan-1(D/2L))
where
αmax = the half acceptance angle,
n0 = the refractive index of air
n1 = the refractive index of the core
n2 = the refractive index of the cladding
D = the diameter of the spot on the screen
L = the distance between the output end of the fiber and the screen.
If the incident angle α < αmax, the ray undergoes multiple internal reflections at core and cladding interface, and
it is called the guided ray. If α < αmax, the ray undergoes only partial reflection at core cladding interface. In short
length of straight fiber, ideally a ray launched at angle α at the input end should come out at the same angle α
from output end. Therefore, the far field at the output end will also appear as a cone of semi angle αmax
emanating from the fiber end.
