50μm multimode fibers for mode division multiplexing

50μm-diameter graded-index core multimode fibers can be adapted to mode-division-multiplexed transmissions that use multiple-input-multiple-output digital signal processing and selective mode multiplexing. We realize and characterize such fibers and compare them to low-differential-mode-group-delay few-mode fibers.
