  • Patent number: 12215968
    Abstract: An angle measurement device according to the present invention relates to an angle measurement device for measuring an incident angle of an incident light ray, and includes: at least one light deflector; a driving power supply; a light receiver; and a calculation unit. The light deflector is of a transmission type, has an electro-optic effect, and is configured to change an optical path of the light ray by a voltage applied from the driving power supply, and cause the light ray to enter the light receiver. The calculation unit is configured to calculate the incident angle based on the voltage at which an intensity of the light ray detected by the light receiver is maximum.

  • Patent number: 12210264
    Abstract: An optical deflection apparatus is provided with an optical deflection element and a compensating optical element. The optical deflection element deflects incident light in a first direction (a voltage application direction) in which a voltage is applied (one-dimensional scan). The compensating optical element is an element which has an incidence surface and an emission surface, which compensates for a deflection deviation in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and to an optical axis of the incident light of deflected light having been deflected by the optical deflection element and incident from the incidence surface, and which arranges a direction of travel of compensated light to be emitted from the emission surface on a same plane.
