Abstract :
A 100 ps gallium-arsenide laser pulse was observed to increase in width by only 100 ps in 70 m of a fibre with an internal refractive-index gradient (Selfoc). This is shown to be in satisfactory agreement with a simple ray analysis which neglects the index discontinuity at the fibre wall.
