Abstract: An optical device includes a protective cover, a housing, and a vibrating body that vibrates the protective cover by selecting, from multiple vibration modes in which the protective cover is vibrated, a cleaning mode in which vibration displacement of the protective cover becomes maximum and a higher-order heating mode in which the number of nodes is larger than that in the cleaning mode. In the heating mode, the position of the maximum vibration displacement in this vibration mode is within a region of the protective cover that corresponds to the field of view of the optical sensor.

Abstract: In a cleaning device, a signal processing circuit determines that a foreign substance has adhered to a surface of a protection cover based on at least two pieces of information among a change amount of a resonant frequency when a vibration portion is driven at a first voltage, a change amount of a current value relating to an impedance detected by an impedance detector, and a temporal change of an image captured by an imaging portion, and cleans the surface of the protection cover by controlling the vibration portion in accordance with the determination.

Abstract: A vibrating device includes a vibrating element, a support, and a connector. The vibrating element includes a vibrating body that is tubular and includes a first opening end surface and a second opening end surface. The support extends in an axial direction and supports the vibrating body, the axial direction being a direction connecting the first opening end surface and the second opening end surface of the vibrating body.
