Abstract
A simple treatment for different dispersive pulse-broadening mechanism s in optical fibers is given. The modal dispersion coefficients for a high-OH multimode step-index optical fiber were measured at the wavele ngths 532, 355, and 266 nm with the use of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. An e mpirical relationship expressing the modal dispersion coefficients as a function of wavelength for the range 532 to 266 nm was calculated.
