Abstract We propose a novel kind of wavelength-selective coupling for the terahertz range based on solid five-core fiber (FCF). The performances of coupling, propagation characteristics, and confinement loss properties are numerically investigated by using a full vector beam propagation method (BPM). Simulation results show that it is possible to realize a broadband wavelength-selective coupling. The coupling length can reach 1.913 cm, and the confinement loss is better than 1.965× 10-4 cm-1. Furthermore, a parameter, the power difference, is defined, and it numerically demonstrates the working performance of the wavelength-selective coupler; that is, when the power difference is better than -15 dB, the frequency located in the range of 0.76 THz-1.00 THz is separated relatively well from the frequency of 0.3 THz. Finally, the effect of the structural parameter on the working performance of the coupler is also investigated. We show that the performance optimization is possible by appropriately tuning the core diameter, and the tunabilities of frequency and bandwidth are possible by appropriately tuning the pitch. The wavelength-selective coupler is of potential application for optical fiber sensing and communication in terahertz wavelength division multiplexer fields.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
