Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a nano-scale spectrum sensor configured to be electromagnetically excitable at a predetermined frequency based on received ambient electromagnetic radiation. The apparatus is also configured to be able to use this excitation of the nano-scale spectrum sensor to thereby determine ambient electromagnetic radiation spectrum usage.
