In this paper, we proposed an optical delay system based on a segment of few-mode fiber (FMF) and two FMF Bragg gratings (FMFBGs). The FMFBGs at both the ends of the FMF segment that serve as selective mode converters enable the pulse stream to double pass the FMF segment twice via access to the opt...
