Abstract
An aim is to reduce the size of an optical sensor which detects radiated light such as phosphorescence radiated from a detection target excited by exciting light, and to increase a radiated light receiving surface of the optical sensor. An optical sensor is configured to be provided with: a light source which irradiates excitation light; a light detector which detects radiation light emitted from a detection target excited by the excitation light; and a single light guide unit which guides the excitation light to the detection target and guides the radiation light to the light detector.
