Refractive index contrast, in an optical fiber, is a measure of the relative difference in refractive index of the core and cladding. Refractive index contrast, Δ, is given by Δ = (n12- n22)/(2n12), where n1 is the maximum refractive index in the core and n2 is the refractive index of the homogeneous cladding. Normal optical fibers have very low...
