Abstract
Propagation of GaxIn1-xAsyP1-y light-emitting-diode radiation through an optical fiber was found to affect its spectral curve very strongly, and the origin of this effect was analyzed. Various kinds of fibers w ere found to induce interferencelike modulations superimposed on the s mooth spontaneous spectral curve of the diodes. We were able to show t hat when a monomode polarization-preserving fiber is used, the modulat ions are mostly due to intermodal interference.
