Abstract :
Through an example, for the first time it is theoretically shown that introducing chirality to the core of an optical fibre can change its modal dispersion, including its dispersion characteristics, drastically, and thus reduce the overall chromatic dispersion in a certain wavelength range. This may provide a novel approach to modifying and managing the chromatic dispersion of a fibre
