Abstract
The enormous bandwidth of single-mode fibers makes them attractive for high-data- rate applications with long repeater spacings. Double-mode fibers could be used as an alternative to single-mode fibers if the group velocities of its two propagating modes were equalized at the wavelength of operation. Then intermodal dispersion would be zero in waveguides with larger diameters than single-mode fibers.
