Abstract
A terahertz wave generating device includes a first light source, a second light source and an antenna. The first light source and a second light source are configured and arranged to generate pulsed lights. The antenna is configured and arranged to generate terahertz waves when irradiated by the pulsed lights generated by the first light source and the second light source. The antenna has a pair of electrodes arranged opposite each other with a gap being formed therebetween. The first light source and the second light source are configured and arranged to irradiate the pulsed lights between the electrodes at timings that are offset from each other.
