A method of ultrafast wireless information transmission using spectrum-sliced supercontinuum (SC) along the THz frequency range is presented in this manuscript. The THz spectrum-sliced SC was formed by femtosecond optical pulses doubled in a Michelson interferometer before being input onto a MgO:LiNbO3 THz generator. Two THz pulses generated by femtosecond pulses within a MgO:LiNbO3 crystal provided the spectrum-sliced SC in the spectral domain, which was recorded by an electro-optical detection system. The transmission rate in this method is determined by the bandwidth of the THz spectrum, the number of spectral lines in the SC, and the pulse repetition rate. We have demonstrated a SC containing 31 spectral lines with 23 GHz spacing within the range from 0.04 to 0.75 THz. The signal with encoded information was successfully transmitted over 2.4 meters in free-space.
