Abstract :
The effect that spin has on modal dispersion of few-mode fibers is qualitatively studied. The analysis shows that spin may indeed reduce modal dispersion within the LP1,1 manifold, although reduction may be not as effective as in single-mode fibers, because spin-induced mode coupling is not always as uniform.
