Patent number: 10184781Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a displacement detecting device capable of decreasing a measurement error, even when a diffraction grating is inclined or displaced to a direction other than a measuring direction. The displacement detecting device 1 comprising: a light source 2 for emitting light; a polarized beam splitter 7; a diffraction grating 11; a prism unit 16A (16 to 19) for shifting light path; lenses 14 and 20 for correcting light path; and an interfered light receiving unit 22A (22 to 30). The prism unit 16A for shifting light path shifts first diffracted light to a direction vertical to the measuring direction.
