Abstract
A terahertz device includes a terahertz element that allows oscillation and radiation of electromagnetic waves in the terahertz band and a waveguide having a transmission region for transmitting electromagnetic waves. The terahertz element has an element principal surface and an element rear surface which face oppositely, an oscillation point for the oscillation of electromagnetic waves on the element principal surface, and a radiation point for the radiation of electromagnetic waves. The terahertz element is disposed such that the oscillation point and the radiation point are placed in the transmission region.
Claims15
A terahertz device comprising:
- a terahertz element that generates and emits electromagnetic waves in a terahertz band;
- and
- a waveguide including a transmission region that transmits the electromagnetic waves, wherein:
- the terahertz element includes an element main surface and an element back surface that face opposite directions, and the element main surface includes a generating point that generates the electromagnetic waves and an emitting point that emits the electromagnetic waves;
- and
- the terahertz element is arranged so that the generating point and the emitting point are located in the transmission region.
