Abstract: A modulation unit 4 is provided which adds, to a frequency ? of transmitted seed light oscillated by a reference light source 2, a frequency (fofs?fmove) resulting from subtracting a Doppler shift frequency fmove corresponding to the moving speed of the moving body from a preset offset frequency fofs, and which outputs pulsed light by performing pulse modulation of the transmitted seed light with a frequency (?+fofs?fmove). An optical heterodyne receiver 8 optically mixes backscattered light with a frequency (?+fofs+fdop) received with an optical antenna 7 and local oscillation light with the frequency ?, thereby obtaining a beat signal with a difference frequency (fofs+fdop) between the backscattered light and the local oscillation light.
