A fully connected society is one of the biggest challenges for communication systems, so improving network capacity has become one of this century's strategic and critical issues. The amount of data exchanged worldwide is impressive (a few petabits per minute), and mobile data mainly comes from smartphones. Therefore, there is an urgent need to push future communication systems' speed (increased bandwidth, lower latency) even further. To ensure such performance, wired and wireless infrastructures must support and deliver data rates in the Tbit/s range. To meet this increasing demand for data throughput by citizens, new technologies and techniques are now required. The terahertz (THz) band offers higher bandwidth (a few GHz), extremely low latencies (nanoseconds), and speediness (a few tens of Gbit/s), hundreds of times better compared to current technologies. This current proposal deals with a market study of our new two (patented) THz wired technologies capable of guiding, processing, and multiplexing THz signals. The two new THz technologies are polarization-division THz multiplexer and time-domain THz integrator. The first one enables multiplexing and ultrafast signal processing in the range of 300 GHz to 2 THz and above, while the second allows time-domain integration functionalities in the THz well above 10 THz. In addition, they are relatively easy to realize, highly flexible and compatible with current communication systems. By improving THz device performances, at a low-cost production, our new technology opens the door to THz commercial developments for future communication systems, paving the way toward accessible and pleasant surfing on the 3D internet, accessible through virtual, augmented, or mixed-reality headsets. Hence, a market study is beneficial and will contribute to the impact of the Canadian high-technology industry on the international scene.

完全联系的社会是通信系统的最大挑战之一，因此，提高网络能力已成为本世纪的战略和关键问题之一。全球交换的数据量令人印象深刻（每分钟几个ps），移动数据主要来自智能手机。因此，迫切需要进一步推动未来的通信系统的速度（增加带宽，降低延迟）。为了确保此类性能，有线和无线基础架构必须在TBIT/S范围内支持并提供数据速率。为了满足公民对数据吞吐量的日益增长的需求，现在需要新技术和技术。与当前技术相比，Terahertz（THZ）带提供更高的带宽（几个GHz），极低的潜伏期（纳秒）和快速的（几十GBIT/S），比当前技术要好几百倍。当前的提案涉及对我们的新两个（专利）有线技术的市场研究，该技术能够指导，处理和多元化THZ信号。这两种新的THZ技术是极化划分THZ多路复用器和时域THZ积分器。第一个启用了300 GHz至2 THz及以上范围内的多路复用和超快信号处理，而第二个则允许THZ中的时间域的积分功能远高于10 THz。此外，它们相对易于实现，高度灵活且与当前的通信系统兼容。通过改善THZ设备的性能，在低成本的生产中，我们的新技术为未来的通信系统打开了大门，铺平了在3D Internet上可访问且令人愉悦的冲浪的道路，可以通过虚拟，增强或混合现实耳机访问。因此，市场研究是有益的，将有助于加拿大高科技行业对国际舞台的影响。
