A graded-index fiber has a core with parabolic refractive index profile of diameter of 30μm, NA=0.2, λ=1μm. Estimate the normalised frequency. Correct Answer 18.84

Normalized frequency for a graded index fiber is given by V = 2Πa(NA)/λ. Substituting and calculating the values, we get option 18.84. Here, V denotes normalized frequency and NA = numerical aperture.
