Differential mode delay managed transmission line for wide-band WDM-MIMO system

We propose a differential mode delay (DMD) managed transmission line consisting of positive and negative DMD sections for a WDM-MIMO system. A fabricated 20.4km-long fiber shows maximum 111ps total absolute DMD within the C-L band.
