How to Calculate Modal Birefringence Degree?
Modal Birefringence Degree calculator uses Modal Birefringence Degree = modulus(Mode Index X-Mode Index Y) to calculate the Modal Birefringence Degree, Modal Birefringence Degree is a measure of the birefringence (difference in refractive indices for two orthogonal polarizations) associated with the optical modes supported in a waveguide or an optical fiber. It quantifies the extent to which different modes experience birefringence in the optical system. Modal Birefringence Degree is denoted by Bm symbol.
How to calculate Modal Birefringence Degree using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Modal Birefringence Degree, enter Mode Index X (n̄x) & Mode Index Y (n̄y) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Modal Birefringence Degree calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1E-7 = modulus(2.44E-07-1.44E-07).
