Nonlinear transmission performance in delay-managed few-mode fiber links with intermediate coupling

Linear equalization performance for delay-managed few-mode links in the nonlinear regime with intermediate linear coupling is studied for the first time. Existing fibers can allow similar performance per mode to that of uncoupled single-mode propagation.
