Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an apparatus wherein a response time is rapid and proportional relation is present between beam spot moving quantity and a detection signal over a wide range, by making a received beam spot elongated on a multisegment photodiode composed of at least two elements. CONSTITUTION:The laser beam emitted from a beam source 1 is allowed to irradiate an object 3 to be measured by a projection lens 2. The beam spot generated on the object 3 to be measured is condensed as elongated beam by a beam receiving lens 4 and a cylindrical lens 6 and the position thereof is detected by a multisegment photodiode 5. When the object 3 to be measured moves in the optical axis direction of the beam source, the elongated spot moves on the photodiode 5 in proportion to the momentum of said object 3 to be measured. Therefore, by detecting the moving quantity of the elongated spot, the displacement of the object 3 to be measured can be measured.
