Abstract
An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus () includes a switch (), a first detector (), and a second detector (). The switch () includes an action surface (as) with a plurality of pixels (px) disposed thereon. The switch () is configured to switch each pixel (px) between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the pixels (px) cause electromagnetic waves incident on the action surface (as) to travel in a first direction (d). In the second state, the pixels (px) cause the electromagnetic waves incident on the action surface (as) to travel in a second direction (d). The first detector () detects the electromagnetic waves that travel in the first direction (d). The second detector () detects the electromagnetic waves that travel in the second direction (d).
