Numerical Aperture Size of Multimode Fiber
For single mode glass fibers, their core is so small that diffraction takes control of how light spreads out from the fiber. Numerical aperture (NA) provides a good estimate of the maximum acceptance angle for most multimode fibers, as shown in Figure 1. Acceptance Angle and NA In the ray model of light, a ray's angle of incidence determines whether or not it. It is defined based on geometrical considerations and is thus a theoretical parameter which is calculated from the optical design.
