Calculation of the refractive index based on wavelength and concentration of GeO2 dоpant in silica optical fibers

Abstract

Abstract: In this publication, we proposed a general formula for calculating the refractive index of two-component material based on SiO2 and GeO2-doped. The article is suitable for practical purposes, as well as for the students' training for calculation of the refractive index and the concentrations of the dopants in the optical fibers intended for the communications.
