Abstract
A multiwaveguide cable in which the waveguides have different overall lengths can be made by twisting the waveguides during cabling. Waveguides situated at the 'outside' of the cable will be longer than those on the 'inside'. Such cables can be used for generating pulses, as passive scanners, for time division multiplexing for equalizing frequency dispersion and for many standard delay functions. Also disclosed are multicore fibers.
