And respectively arranging two mode channels of the same mode group of the (de) multiplexer in an XZ plane and a YZ plane, and forming the three-dimensional directional coupling type multiplexer and the de-multiplexer by the two mode channels of the same mode group and the main channel. The few-mode ring core channel FMF is a main transmission channel of a mode division multiplexer and a demultiplexer, and single-mode coupling channels SMF1 and SMF2 are respectively placed on an X axis and a Y axis; the mode LP01 is respectively incident from the left ends of FMF, SMF2 and SMF1, and is in transmission coupling multiplexing along the Z direction; LP11a and LP11b would couple from SMF2 and SMF1, respectively, into FMF, enabling 3-mode division multiplexing. If 3 modes are all incident from the FMF, LP11a and LP11b are coupled from the FMF into SMF2 and SMF1, respectively, then mode demultiplexing of the 3 modes is achieved. The initial center-to-center channel spacing of FMF and SMF1 was 14 μm, the channel perimeter spacing was 4 μm, and the distance between FMF and SMF2 was the same as the former, depending on the coupling length of each mode versus the channel spacing. The length of each channel is 2640 μm.

Both single-mode coupling channels have a radius of r =5 μm.
FIG. 3 is a graph of the two-mode intrinsic loss of the main transmission channel of a low-loss ringed-core few-mode (de) multiplexer, which can be seen to reach the lowest value at a wavelength of 1.54 μm, when the intrinsic losses of the LP01 mode and the LP11 mode are 0.149dB/km and 0.151dB/km, respectively; when the wavelength is less than 1.54 μm, the intrinsic loss of the two modes increases as the wavelength becomes smaller; when the wavelength is greater than 1.54 μm, the intrinsic loss of the two modes increases as the wavelength becomes larger; the intrinsic loss of the two modes is small and is less than 0.156 dB/km in the whole C band.
