We demonstrate direct time-domain bandwidth measurement of 11 cm-long multimode polymer waveguides based on an optical sampling technique for the first time. The pulse shape can be recovered after propagating waveguides due to the advantages of large bandwidth (low time resolution) of optical sampling technology. A reduction in averaged bandwidth (bandwidth-length product) from 241 GHz (27 GHz·m) to 180 GHz (20 GHz·m) of straight waveguides is observed when using mode scramblers to fully stimulate the higher-order modes. The effects such as bending and crossing structure of the waveguides on the bandwidth are also investigated. The proposed method is effective for measuring the bandwidth and dispersion of meter and centimeter-long waveguides, fibers and optical devices
