<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for sterilizing bacteria, etc., with the use of a terahertz generator, and to provide its device. <P>SOLUTION: The device irradiates the arbitrary place of an object 2 to be measured and operated with a frequency variable terahertz wave 5, detects a reflection terahertz wave 4, obtains terahertz spectrum, and detects the existence of bacteria, etc., concerning the terahertz wave generator. Through the use of the method and device, the spectrum is analyzed, so as to select an optimum terahertz wave frequency and sterilization is performed by irradiating the object to be measured and operated with the selected terahertz wave. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
