Summary :

A Gaussian pulse propagated through a multimode optical fiber is well explained by introducing a weighting function of higher order modes into the theoretical formula, being consistent with experimental results. Extending the equation of the pulse propagation in a single mode fiber into that for the multimode fiber, the calculated waveform with several weighting functions is compared with the experimental pulse of a He-Ne 3.39µm mode-locked laser, which propagated through As-S glass fiber. Cosequently, the most appropriate weighting function is found to be hyperbolic function W(l)l-0.7, which depends only on the radial mode l and is independent of the azimuthal mode m. Physical interpretation about the obtained weighting function is also discussed.
