Abstract
The invention relates to the field of dispersion managed optical fibres for use in wavelength division multiplex transmission networks. A multimode optical fibre in which at least one higher-order mode can be propagated, is constituted radially by a single central core surrounded by an optical cladding (13), and comprises, for said higher mode or for at least one of said higher-order modes, positive chromatic dispersion optical fibre portions (D+) alternating longitudinally with negative chromatic dispersion optical fibre portions (D−).
