In this paper, a novel structure for graphene-based directional coupler in the THz frequency region is presented. This new configuration consists of two single-mode waveguides, placed side by with some connection gaps between them to allow coupling. Two different types couplers (single-gap and double-gap) are designed at 50[THz]. The simulation results show that single-gap has advantages low insertion loss ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline">...
