Chromatic dispersion analysis and compensation in a large core-count few-mode multi-core fiber based on optical vector network analysis

Chromatic dispersion in a large core-count 3-mode fiber is analyzed, observing up to 0.75 ps/(nm km) variations between mode groups. Furthermore, digital CD compensation is shown to relax the stringent path length matching required in such systems
