Picosecond pulse dispersion in cladded glass fibres

Picosecond pulse dispersion measurements have been made on short lengths of multimode glass fibre. With a narrow input beam rapid mode conversion occurs initially, but an equilibrium is reached after ~10 m and the transmitted pulse then broadens at a linear rate of ~10 ps/m.
