Abstract :
A modal dispersion measurement technique for a multimode optical fiber using an intermodal interferometer and optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique is demonstrated. A few-mode PCF and a commercial MMF are prepared to measure modal dispersions using our measurement technique
