Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure a distance without moving an objective (mirror) by scanning the wavelength of luminous flux so that a signal outputted by a light receiving element has at least two peaks. CONSTITUTION:When the wavelength of laser luminous flux is varied by increasing a driving current supplied to a semiconductor laser 21 by a driving circuit 22, light and shade (light when the optical path difference between the length l0 of a reference optical path 25 and the length l1 of a measurement optical path 27 is an integral multiple of lambda/2 and shade when an odd multiple of #/4) are formed on the light receiving element 30 by the interference between two pieces of luminous flux split by a half-mirror 24. Here, the reciprocal optical path length (l) from an origin 0 to a corner cube prism 28 is found from a specific expression by using the values l0 and l1 and respective wavelengths of laser luminous flux when a 1st and next peaks of the signal outputted by the element 30 appear. Therefore, the prism 28 is not moved, the wavelength of the luminous flux emitted by the laser 21 is scanned, and two wavelengths when the signal from the element has the peaks are found to measure the distance from the origin 0 to the prism 28.
