Abstract
There is inserted between a light source and an input of an optical fiber a mode filter which changes the phase of light to be propagated continuously or discontinuously so as to convert guided modes of lower azimuthal number into those of higher numbers in a light transmitting system which employs a graded index optical fiber with a valley at the core-cladding boundary. This reduces the mode-delay differences for all modes including those which are close to cut off so that an optical communication system having a very wide bandwidth is obtained.
