摘　　要：Mode-division multiplexing（MDM） has become an increasingly important technology to further increase the transmission capacity of both optical-fiber-based communication networks, data centers and waveguidebased on-chip optical interconnects. Mode manipulation devices are indispensable in MDM system and have been widely studied in fiber, planar lightwave circuits, and silicon and InP based platforms. InP-based integration technology provides the easiest accessibility to bring together the functions of laser sources, modulators, and mode manipulation devices into a single chip, making it a promising solution for fully integrated few-mode transmitters in the MDM system. This paper reviews the recent progress in InP-based mode manipulation devices, including the few-mode converters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, and transmitters. The working principle, structures, and performance of InP-based few-mode devices are discussed.Mode-division multiplexing（MDM） has become an increasingly important technology to further increase the transmission capacity of both optical-fiber-based communication networks, data centers and waveguidebased on-chip optical interconnects.
