Abstract

This paper presents theoretical results concerning pulse-broadening in multimode fibres. All the calculations are based on the geometric optic hypothesis. The results are given for different kinds of input functions in the case of a loss-free guide and an energy equidistribution. Subsequently, material and interface losses are included. The influence of angle-dependent energy distributions is also investigated. For all these cases analytical expressions are obtained. Experimental results are presented: they are in good agreement with theory.
