Impact of modal crosstalk and multi-path interference on few-mode fiber transmission

Crosstalk caused by random mode coupling can make mode-multiplexing infeasible. However, transmission of single mode over few-mode fibers is relatively insensitive to mode mixing and therefore they can be used as large-effective area fibers.
