Measuring the group velocity dispersion of higher order modes in hollow core photonic bandgap fibre

We present for the first time the group velocity dispersion of multiple distinguishable modes propagating in 3, 7 and 19 cell hollow core photonic bandgap fibres. Measurements are made by direct phase extraction from spectral domain low coherence interferometry.
