    1.

    A point source of light is 12 cm below the surface of a large body of water (n = 1.33 for
    water). What is the radius of the largest circle on the water surface through which the light
    can emerge? (Keiser, 5ed., Prob.2.8).

    2.

    Calculate the numerical aperture of a step-index fiber having n1 = 1.48 and n2 = 1.46. What
    is the maximum entrance angle 0max for this fiber if the outer medium is air with n = 1.00?
    (Keiser, 5ed., Prob.2.12).

    3.

    A step-index multimode fiber with a numerical aperture of 0.20 supports approximately


    1000 modes at an 850 nm wavelength.
    a) What is the diameter of its core?
    b) How many modes does the fiber support at 1320 nm?
    c) How many modes does the fiber support at 1550 nm?
    (Keiser, 5ed., Prob.2.18).

    4.

    Determine the normalized frequency at 820nm for a step-index fiber having a 25 m core
    radius, n1 = 1.48, and n2 = 1.46.
    a) How many modes propagate in this fiber at 820nm?
    b) How many modes propagate in this fiber at 1320nm?
    c) How many modes propagate in this fiber at 1550nm?
    (Keiser, 5ed., Prob. 2.19).

    5.

    Find the core radius necessary for single-mode operation at 1320nm of a step-index fiber
    with n1 = 1.480 and n2 = 1.478. What are the numerical aperture and maximum acceptance
    angle of this fiber? (Prob. 2.21).

    6.

    A manufacturer wishes to make a silica-core step-index fiber with V = 75 and a numerical


    aperture NA = 0.30 to be used at 820 nm. If n1 = 1.458, what should the core size and
    cladding index be? (Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.2.22).

    7.

    Draw a design curve of the fractional refractive index difference versus the core radius a
    for a silica core (n1 = 1.458), single-mode fiber to operate at 1300 nm. Suppose the fiber we
    select from this curve has a 5 m core radius. Is this fiber still single-mode at 820nm?
    Which modes exist in the fiber at 820nm? (Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.2.23).

    8.

    Commonly available single-mode fibers have beat lengths in the range 10 cm < Lp < 2 m.
    What range of birefringent refractive index differences does this correspond to for
    = 1300 nm? (Keiser, 5ed., Prob.2.25).

    9.

    Calculate the number of modes at 820nm and 1.3 m in a graded-index fiber having a
    parabolic-index profile ( = 2), a 25 m core radius, n1 = 1.48, and n2 = 1.46. How does
    this compare to a step-index fiber? (Keiser, 5ed., Prob.2.27).
