Abstract: A conversion unit converts a first electrical signal to a first distance value indicating a distance from an interferometer to a measurement target. An inclination value calculation unit calculates an inclination value based on the first distance value. A first distance value correction unit corrects the first distance value based on the inclination value. A second distance value correction unit calculates a second distance value indicating a distance from the optical interference range sensor to the measurement target based on the first distance value that has been corrected by the first distance value correction unit. If the number of times that the first electrical signal is detected is smaller than a second threshold, the first distance value correction unit corrects the first distance value based on an inclination value that precedes the inclination value associated with the first distance value in a storage unit.

Abstract: A wavelength-swept light source projects a light beam. An interferometer includes a splitting unit that splits the light beam projected from the wavelength-swept light source into light beams radiated toward a plurality of spots on a measurement target. Each of the interference beam is generated by interference between a measurement beam radiated toward the measurement target and reflected at the measurement beam, and a reference beam passing through an optical path that is at least partially different from an optical path of the measurement beam. A light-receiving unit receives the interference beams from the interferometer. A processor calculates distance to the measurement target by associating a detected peak of the interference beams with one of the spots. The optical path length difference between the measurement target and the reference beam is made different among the light beams split in correspondence with the plurality of spots.
