Interconnection apparatus and method using terahertz waves

摘要

Disclosed herein is an interconnection apparatus and method using terahertz waves. The interconnection apparatus using terahertz waves according to the present invention includes a first terahertz wave generation unit for generating a first transmission terahertz wave, a center frequency of which is a first center frequency, using photomixing. A second terahertz wave generation unit generates a second transmission terahertz wave, a center frequency of which is a second center frequency different from the first center frequency. A first terahertz wave detection unit detects a first reception terahertz wave corresponding to the first transmission terahertz wave. A second terahertz wave detection unit detects a second reception terahertz wave corresponding to the second transmission terahertz wave.
