The first linear polarizer 15 is arranged between the first light unifying element 13 and the first beam expander mirror 14, and the second linear polarizer 26 is arranged between the mirror 25 and the second beam expander mirror 24. The first and second linear polarizers 15 and 26 are both vertical/horizontal linear polarization filters, and filter the laser beam into vertical/horizontal linear polarized laser light. The first laser light source 1 outputs a divergent vertical/horizontal line polarized laser beam which uniformly falls on an object to be detected; the second laser light source 2 outputs a divergent vertically/horizontally polarized laser beam to uniformly irradiate the object to be measured. The third linear polarizer 34 is disposed between the lens 31 and the filter 32, and is a horizontal/vertical linear polarization filter.

The third linear polarizer 34 in the optical imaging module 3 allows only part of the optical signal in the useful signal to pass through and filters out the noise signal. If the first laser light source 1 outputs a vertically polarized laser beam, the vertically polarized laser beam uniformly falls on the object to be measured, multiple scattering occurs in the object to be measured, and the optical signal emitted from the object to be measured includes optical signals in a vertical polarization state, a horizontal polarization state, and other angle polarization states. The noise signals are all vertically polarized. The optical imaging module 3 only allows the horizontal polarization state in the useful signal to pass through, and the optical signals with other polarization characteristics are filtered out.
