Abstract :
Pulse dispersions of 5 ps/m have been measured in cladded-glass and liquid-core multimode fibres. A theoretical model is proposed which gives excellent agreement with measured propagation delay and pulse dispersion. In the fibres used, there is little light scattering either in the core or at the core-cladding interface.
