Abstract: The spatial phase modulation element is a so-called grating light valve for modulating the phase of light by displacing the ribbons. If the measurement light beam Lm (measurement light) is incident on such a spatial phase modulation element, the measurement light beam Lm is emitted in a direction corresponding to the displacement mode of the ribbons.

At this time, the measurement light beam Lm phase-modulated by the spatial phase modulation element is projected to the object J after being shaped into a linear beam. That is, the linear measurement light beam Lm is scanned across the object J.
