Measurement of profile dispersion in optical fibres: a direct technique

Abstract

A new technique allows direct determination or the wave-length-dispersive material properties of glasses within the fibre. Results obtained over a wide wavelength range are reported for both borosilicate and fluorine-doped cladding materials. The latter exhibits low profile dispersion.
