Abstract: A signal processing device in an optical sensor device further calculates first frequency variation reference signal data serving as a reference for frequency variation of light output from a wavelength swept light source on the basis of an internal reception signal converted into a digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter converts the first frequency variation reference signal data calculated by the signal processing device into an analog signal to generate a first frequency variation reference signal as a first clock signal, and the analog-to-digital converter samples a reception signal acquired by an optical heterodyne receiver in synchronization with the first frequency variation reference signal generated by the digital-to-analog converter.

Abstract: An optical measurement device is a measurement device that measures a distance to a target using light, and includes: a split unit to split light into reference light and measurement light; an adjustment unit to split the reference light into a plurality of beams of reference light having respective different light path lengths; an interference unit to multiplex two of reflection light obtained by reflection when a target is irradiated with the measurement light, and the plurality of beams of reference light to obtain interference light; and a processing unit to calculate a light path length difference on a basis of a frequency of the interference light, and the optical measurement device calculates light path length differences of the plurality of beams of reference light, so that it is possible to measure the distance to the target even when the distance to the target significantly fluctuates.

Abstract: A first optical path length from an emission surface of a first optical system to a reflection surface of a target object is calculated on the basis of first reflected light received by the first optical system and reference light generated by a splitter. A second optical path length from an emission surface of the second optical system to a reflection surface of a reflector is calculated on the basis of second reflected light reflected by the reflector and received by the second optical system and the reference light generated by the splitter A refractive index of a space is calculated on the basis of the second optical path length, and a distance from the emission surface of the first optical system to the reflection surface of the target object is calculated on the basis of the refractive index and the first optical path length.

Abstract: An optical fiber protection structure has a fiber accommodation portion having a fiber accommodation groove formed therein for accommodating at least a portion of optical fibers and first resins filled in the fiber accommodation groove. The first resins are to fix a portion of the optical fibers within the fiber accommodation groove. The optical fiber protection structure has a cover member disposed above the fiber accommodation portion so as to cover the fiber accommodation groove, second resins for allowing the first resins to expand toward the cover member to reduce a stress applied to the optical fibers, and a third resin for fixing the cover member onto the fiber accommodation portion. The second resins have a Young's modulus lower than those of the first resins.
