We evidence the impact of small angle light scattering on Differential Mode Attenuation (DMA) in few-mode fibers. Based on this finding, we design and fabricate a weakly coupled 6-LP-mode fiber with low DMA. **[Find out more](https://www.ofcconference.org/en-us/home/program-speakers/)**** >**   ## **Other oral presentations** M2C.4 • 11:30 am - March 4th **Tutorial : Enabling Technologies for Optical Data Center Networks: Spatial Division Multiplexing** You're new in spatial division multiplexing?
