6×28-Gbaud few-mode recirculating loop transmission with gain-equalized inline few-mode fiber amplifier

Using a transmission fiber with a zero differential modal dispersion wavelength and a gain-equalized few-mode EDFA, we demonstrate mode-multiplexed transmission over a fiber recirculating loop with all few-mode components.
