| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Indeks bias merupakan bagian penting pada perancangan suatu pandu gelombang optik. Nilai indeks bias suatu medium bergantung pada nilai panjang gelombang cahaya yang berinteraksi pada medium tersebut. Kebergantungan nilai indeks bias meium terhadap panjang gelombang (lazim dikenal dengan dispersi indeks bias) secara empiris ditulis sebagai model dispersi indeks bias Cauchy. Telah dilakukan uji model dispersi ineks bias Cauchy pada data PMMA-495 dan PMMA-950 masing-masing untuk satu suku hingga empat suku dengan menggunakan program MATLAB, dan hasil model dispersi tersebut secara statistik dinyatakan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil model dan data. Dan berdasarkan gambar grafik serta jumlah juadrat sisa, model dispersi indeks bias Cauchy untuk 4 suku merupakan hasil yang paling sesuai untuk PMMA-495. Sedangkan untuk PMMA-950 adalah model dispersi ineks bisa Cauchy 3 suku. |
