B-Integral calculator
Accumulated nonlinear phase shift in transparent media.
Category: Nonlinear Optics
Formula: B = (2π/λ)·n₂·I·L
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| λ | lam | nm | 800 |
| n₂ | n2 | 10⁻¹⁶cm²/W | 3 |
| Intensity | I | GW/cm² | 10 |
| Length | L | mm | 5 |
Result with the default inputs
- B: 0.1178 rad
- Risk SPM (B>3): ✓ low
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/b-integral?lam=800. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
