• $\Delta$=n1-n2/n1
n12_n22=(n1+n2)=(n1+n2/2)(n1_n2/n1)2n1
n1+n2/2$\approx$n1
and
NA=$\sqrt{}$n122$\Delta$
therfore
na=n1$\sqrt{}$2$\Delta$
v-no. or normalized frequence
v=$\pi d/\lambda \sqrt{}}$n12_n22

Given,

Core diameter of multi mode step index fiber =60 micrometer

Difference in refractive index=0.013

Core refractive index=1.46

To Find,

The number of guided modes when the wavelength is 0.75

Solution,

n1=1.46

n2=1.46+0.013

=1.473

D=60micrometer

wavelngth=0.75micrometer

NA=√n2²-n1²

=√1.473²-1.46²

=0.19

Number of modes=1/2×((π×D×NA)/lambda))²

=1/2×((3.14×60×10^-6×0.19)/0.75×10^-6)²

=1200

Hence, the number of guided modes are 1200.
