Dispersion in low-loss liquid-core optical fibres

Abstract

Measurements of pulse dispersion in liquid-core multimode fibres habe been made for different fibre curvatures and core diameters. The results indicate the presence of mode-conversion effects, and a mode-filtering mechanism is demonstrated with a probing beam of narrow angular width. By measuring transmission loss as a function of angle of incidence, the loss in the cladding material is obtained.
