In this paper, the effect of tap configurations in a decision feedback equalizer is investigated for controlling modal dispersion in a 60Gb/s 18-channel mode division multiplexing - wavelength division multiplexing system in a 2.5km multimode fiber on three Laguerre-Gaussian modes and six wavelengths centered at 1550nm. Spectrum analyser diagrams and bit error rate measurements show satisfactory performance for feed forward – feedback tap combinations (10,5), (14,0), (15,6) and (15,10) by effectively suppressing higher order modes.
