How is Luneburg Lens Refractive Index different from normal lens refractive index?

Luneburg Lenses have a gradient refractive index, meaning that the refractive index varies with radial distance from the center of the lens. This variation allows for unique optical and electromagnetic properties within the lens. In contrast, traditional lenses have a constant refractive index, typically greater than 1, which causes light to bend as it enters the lens.

How to Calculate Luneburg Lens Refractive Index?

Luneburg Lens Refractive Index calculator uses Luneburg Lens Refractive Index = sqrt(2-(Radial Distance/Radius of Luneburg Lens)^2) to calculate the Luneburg Lens Refractive Index, Luneburg Lens Refractive Index is the gradient refractive index which means it varies with radial distance from the center of the lens. The refractive index is highest at the center of the lens (r=0) and decreases as you move toward the outer edge of the lens. Luneburg Lens Refractive Index is denoted by ηl symbol.

How to calculate Luneburg Lens Refractive Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Luneburg Lens Refractive Index, enter Radial Distance (r) & Radius of Luneburg Lens (ro) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Luneburg Lens Refractive Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.382447 = sqrt(2-(1.69/5.67)^2).

FAQ

What is Luneburg Lens Refractive Index?
Luneburg Lens Refractive Index is the gradient refractive index which means it varies with radial distance from the center of the lens. The refractive index is highest at the center of the lens (r=0) and decreases as you move toward the outer edge of the lens and is represented as ηl = sqrt(2-(r/ro)^2) or Luneburg Lens Refractive Index = sqrt(2-(Radial Distance/Radius of Luneburg Lens)^2). Radial Distance is the measurement of the distance from the center of the Luneburg Lens to any point of interest & Radius of Luneburg Lens is the measurement of the distance from the centre to the circumference of the lens.
