Abstract
The number N dof of the non-radiative modes of a square-law graded-index (GRIN) rod is evaluated using an analysis of the well known solutions of the scalar wave equation in an infinitely extended square-law medium. The number M q of modes that arrive at the plane of the first image in almost the same phase relation as in the object, and which therefore determine the ‘quality of the image’, is also evaluated.
