METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING COMMUNICATION USING A TERAHERTZ LINK

摘要

A method and apparatus for establishing a terahertz link using a multi-element lens array that comprises a liquid lens are disclosed. For example, the method receives detected terahertz signals from one or more detectors, where a liquid lens is deployed with each of the one or more detectors. The method determines, for each of the detected signals, if the detected signal is out of focus, and applies a corrective voltage to each liquid lens that corresponds to a detected terahertz signal that is out of focus, wherein the corrective voltage adjusts a focus of the detected signal. The method measures a signal-to-noise ratio of the detected signals, and establishing a terahertz link via at least one of the detected terahertz signals with a highest signal-to-noise ratio.

1. A method for establishing a terahertz link, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a plurality of terahertz signals from a plurality of detectors, where a liquid lens is deployed with each of the plurality of detectors; applying, by the processor, an adjustment to a corresponding liquid lens that corresponds to a corresponding one terahertz signal that is out of focus, wherein the adjustment adjusts a focus of the corresponding one terahertz signal; measuring, by the processor, a signal-to-noise ratio of each of the plurality of terahertz signals; and establishing, by the processor, the terahertz link via one of the plurality of terahertz signals based on the signal-to-noise ratio of each of the plurality of terahertz signals.
