Abstract
We measure the group-velocity dispersion in the range from 700 to 900 nm on three microstructured fibers with different hole sizes but similar ratios of pitch-to-hole diameter. Our results are iii good agreement with theoreti cal simulations based on vector-plane-wave theory. We perform these measure ments using a novel pulse-delay technique which utilizes femtosecond laser pulses and a two-photon photodiode and thus can be applied to short samples .
