Abstract :
Analytical expressions are derived for the impulse response of a self-focusing optical fibre with a core whose index profile is described by the 2nd- and the 4th-order terms of the radial distance. It is shown that the shape and the r.m.s. width of the impulse response depend strongly on the 4th-order coefficient of the index distribution.
