Abstract: An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus (10) includes a switch (16), a first detector (19), and a second detector (20). The switch (16) includes an action surface (as) with a plurality of pixels (px) disposed thereon. The switch (16) 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 (d1). In the second state, the pixels (px) cause the electromagnetic waves incident on the action surface (as) to travel in a second direction (d2). The first detector (19) detects the electromagnetic waves that travel in the first direction (d1).

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus (10) includes an irradiator (11), a first detector (17), a memory (13), and a controller (14). The irradiator (11) irradiates electromagnetic waves. The first detector (17) includes detection elements. The detection elements detect, by irradiation position, reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves irradiated onto an object (ob). The memory (13) stores related information. The related information is information associating any two of the emission direction of the electromagnetic waves and elements defining two points on a path. The path refers to a path of the electromagnetic waves emitted from the irradiator (11) to the first detector (17) via the object (ob). The controller (14) updates the related information based on the emission direction of the electromagnetic waves and the position of the detection element, among the detection elements, that detects the reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves.
