Abstract :
The effect of refractive-index profiling in multimode fibres on modal time-delay differences and on modal wavelength dispersion is evaluated. The delay can be made negligible compared with the modal dispersion. The latter is comparable in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to glass dispersion.
