Abstract
OCT measuring device in the present exemplary embodiment includes: wavelength sweep light source that emits light of which a wavelength is swept; optical interferometer that divides the light into measurement light and reference light, emits measurement light toward measurement surface of measuring target object, and generates an optical interference intensity signal indicating an intensity of interference between measurement light reflected from measurement surface and reference light; electro-optic element which is a phase modulator arranged in a light path of optical interferometer; measurement processor which is a signal generator that derives a position of measurement surface and generates a phase amount indicator signal that indicates a phase amount of phase modulator based on the optical interference intensity signal; and electro-optic element controller which is a phase amount controller that controls the phase amount given to the light that is transmitted through phase modulator.
