Une lumière linéaire provenant une unité de tête (3), qui émet une lumière linéaire, éclaire la surface d'exposition (412), et une zone d'exposition linéaire (415) parallèle à l'axe central (J1) de la surface d'exposition (412) est formée La surface d'exposition (412) tourne en continu autour de l'axe central (J1). La surface d'exposition (412) est pourvue d'une fente (414) inclinée par rapport à l'axe central (J1). Si la fente (414), qui est une région de transmission linéaire, est interprétée comme étant un ensemble d'une pluralité de régions de transmission partielles disposées en continu le long d'une ligne, la pluralité des régions de transmission partielles passent par une pluralité de positions différentes sur la zone d'exposition linéaire (415) à des moments différents, et la lumière transmise à travers les régions de transmission partielles est reçue par l'unité de mesure d'intensité lumineuse (42). La distribution d'intensité d'une lumière linéaire peut ainsi être mesurée de manière répétée à l'aide d'une structure simple.
