Abstract: An optical device includes a light source section configured to emit light; a converging reflector configured to converge and reflect the light from the light source section to an irradiation surface having a curvature; and a position detector configured to detect a light-receptive position of the light reflected from the irradiation surface.

Abstract: An optical device according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a projector configured to project scanning light that is light in a predetermined polarized state. The projector included in the optical device includes an optical member configured to selectively reflect the light in the predetermined polarized state.

Abstract: An object detector includes: an optical scanner including: a light source unit configured to emit a light beam; and a light deflector configured to deflect the light beam emitted from the light source unit to scan an object in a detection region with the deflected light beam; a light receiving optical element configured to collect the light beam returned from the object through at least one of reflection or scatter on the object in the detection region in response to scanning with the light beam deflected by the light deflector; and a light receiving element configured to receive the light beam collected by the light receiving optical element, the light receiving element including multiple light receiving pixels arranged in a first direction at different positions on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

Abstract: An optical device includes a light source that emits light to irradiate an object, a light emission driver that drives the light source to emit light at a predetermined light emission period, a position detector that outputs a detection signal corresponding to reflected light that is the light reflected by the object, and a signal extractor that extracts, from the detection signal, a signal with a period corresponding to the light emission period by using a reference signal with a period corresponding to the light emission period, and outputs the extracted signal.
