Light irradiates one light incident position on the surface of a scattering-absorption body. The light that propagates through the interior of the scattering-absorption body is detected at one light detecting position on the surface of the scattering-absorption body. On the basis of a light detection signal, a temporal profile of the light intensity of the detected light is acquired, and on the basis of the temporal profile, an mean optical path length of the light in the interior of the scattering-absorption body and information relating to the amount of substance to be measured in a region to be measured are calculated. The information relating to the amount of substance to be measured is corrected on the basis of the mean optical path length, such that the longer the mean optical path length, the greater the amount of substance to be measured is.
