Learn how to use WaveRay for Android Fiber Optics with real, manually matched screenshots. This tutorial covers setup, execution, result interpretation and practical checks.

What this tutorial covers

Enter core diameter, numerical aperture and related values for fiber-optics calculations on Android.

Before you start:You need access to the product and should ideally follow the tutorial using your own real parameters or data. The screenshots below were manually rematched to avoid the image/topic mismatches seen in the previous version.
Android Fiber Optics - Open the relevant module and confirm the starting state.

Android Fiber Optics - Run the workflow and inspect the result/status.
Run the workflow and inspect the result/status.

Step-by-step workflow

1Open the module

Open Fiber Optics. Confirm that the visible page really matches the tutorial topic before changing any settings.

2Configure the input

Prepare and check core/cladding, numerical aperture, wavelength and related fiber parameters.

3Run and watch the status

Fill in the parameters and inspect the calculated result. Watch the visible status, plot or log area while the workflow is running.

4Inspect the result

Pay special attention to the fiber-optics calculation results.

5Verify and iterate

If the result looks wrong, verify the units and the refractive-index/NA definitions first. Change one meaningful parameter and rerun so you can verify whether the output changes in the expected direction.

How to read the result

  • The main output of this workflow is the fiber-optics calculation results.
  • Read the result together with the exact inputs used for the run; a screenshot alone rarely tells the whole story.
  • If the result looks wrong, verify the units and the refractive-index/NA definitions first.

Troubleshooting & practical tips

  • If nothing changes, first confirm that the correct module is open.
  • If the output looks unrealistic, check units, field mapping and input scale first.
  • For comparisons, change one key parameter at a time whenever possible.
