Abstract :
An interferometric technique for chromatic dispersion measurement of higher modes in short lengths of high order mode fibres is presented. The dispersion is measured using the wavelength dependence of the interference signal between the basic mode and the high order mode. Neither mode transformers nor RF circuitry are required
