We demonstrate 1 Tbit/s/$\lambda$ single-span transmission over a heterogeneous link consisting of graded-index 50 $\mu$m core multi-mode fiber and 6LP few-mode fiber using a Kramers-Kronig receiver structure.

Based on the transfer function of MIMO MMSE equalizers, and assuming a known SNR, we calculate a correction factor that improves the estimation process in moderate levels of MDL/MDG and SNR.

One guiding principle for previous work on the design of practical nonlinearity compensation schemes is that fewer steps lead to better systems.
