One of the problems encountered when using single-mode fibers in a wide band interferometer is the dispersion of the waveguide. We relate here the phase curvature of the interferograms with the dispersion parameter of the fiber. Total dispersion in a fiber is the sum of material and waveguide dispersion. By optimizing the waveguide structure for an actual fluoride glass, we show that a fiber can be made whose dispersion between 2μm and 2.7μm is reduced by more than two orders of magnitude. Simulated interferograms show that an interferometer using such a fiber could withstand a fiber length difference of 10m without a substantial degradation of its performances. This raises the possibility to consider all-fiber delay lines with several meters of optical path delay variation.
