Abstract

The single-mode step-index fibre parameters, relative index difference and core diameter, have been predicted to achieve first-order cancellation between material and waveguide dispersions at 1.55 μm. Our prediction by accurate solution of the characteristic equation results in fibre parameters different from those obtained by other investigators. The origin of this difference is examined.
