Abstract

With the rapid development of optoelectronic fibers of multi-materials and structures, coupling between the optoelectronic fibers and the conventional optical fibers with high transmission is desirable. In this article, we propose a mode coupler to facilitate the transmission of electromagnetic wave from a dielectric fiber to a simple metal-core optoelectronic fiber in the terahertz regime. The coupler mainly consists of an air cone along its symmetric axis. The transmission characteristics of the terahertz wave of the frequency ranging from 2 to 8 THz for five hybrid modes are investigated using finite difference time domain method. We show the dependence of the transmission on the height of the air cone for the selected frequencies.
