We demonstrate an all-solid (nonholey), silica-based fiber with anomalous dispersion at wavelengths where silica material dispersion is negative. This is achieved by exploiting the enhanced dispersion engineering capabilities of higher-order modes in a fiber, yielding $+60\mathrm{ps}∕\mathrm{nm}\mathrm{km}$ dispersion at $1080\mathrm{nm}$ . By coupling to the desired higher-order mode with low-loss in-fiber gratings, we realize a $5\mathrm{m}$ long fiber module with a $300\mathrm{fs}∕\mathrm{nm}$ dispersion that yields a $1\mathrm{dB}$ bandwidth of $51\mathrm{nm}$ with an insertion loss of $\sim 0.1\mathrm{dB}$ at the center wavelength of $1080\mathrm{nm}$ . We demonstrate its functionality as a critical enabler for an all-fiber, Yb-based, mode-locked femtosecond ring laser.
