Abstract: We have proposed and demonstrated an approach for ensuring quasi-single-mode operation of a cylindrically symmetric hybrid fibre having anomalous dispersion at wavelengths around 1 μm. Basic to this approach are distinctions between spatial fibre mode distributions and the use of a high-loss ring layer in the region of a minimum in the electric field of the operating hybrid mode.

Keywords: optical fibre, hybrid fibre, single-modedness, dispersion compensation, dispersion-shifted fibre, selective mode suppression.
