Extrapolation of Snell’s law to optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Snell’s law has been extended to cover total internal reflection in dielectric guides of arbitrary cross section. The main result is that rays totally reflected are those at angles with the generatrix of the cylinder smaller than cos−1(n2/n1), where n1, and n2 are the refractive indices of the core and cladding.
