Abstract: An optical measurement apparatus including: an irradiation optical system configured to irradiate a measurement subject with irradiation light that includes a plurality of wavelengths; a reception optical system configured to receive measurement light that is transmission light or reflection light travelling from the measurement subject as a result of the measurement subject being irradiated with the irradiation light; and a polarizing plate, wherein the polarizing plate is configured to be able to be provided in either the irradiation optical system or the reception optical system.

Abstract: A spectral characteristic measurement apparatus includes a spectrometer for spatially dispersing incident light depending on wavelengths and a detection portion for receiving light dispersed by the spectrometer. The detection portion includes a first detection area on which a component in a first wavelength range is incident and a second detection area on which a component in a second wavelength range is incident. The apparatus includes a correction portion for correcting stray light detected by the detection portion derived from light to be measured. The correction portion corrects a stray light pattern based on a first amount of change with respect to wavelengths in the first wavelength range of the stray light pattern and a second amount of change with respect to wavelengths included in a result of detection in the first detection area of the detection portion, to calculate a stray light component derived from the light to be measured.
