Abstract :
Intermodal dispersion at 0.85 ¿m, and intramodal dispersion in the range 0.75 to 1.5 ¿m has been measured on single-mode fibres for use at 1.3 ¿m. Results in good agreement with theoretical predictions show the fibres to be under-compensated at 0.85 ¿m. The pulse spreading at 0.85 ¿m in such fibres owing to intramodal dispersion is 0.24 ns/km for a 3 nm linewidth source.
