Abstract
A first light source outputs measurement light having a wavelength in infrared range. A second light source outputs guide light having a wavelength in visible range. A fiber coupler includes a first port into which the measurement light is input, a second port into which the guide light is input, and a third port outputting combined light formed by combining the measurement light and the guide light with each other. A measurement unit emits the combined light to a measurement object and receives return light reflected therefrom. A processing unit obtains information relating to a distance, a speed, or an oscillation of the measurement object, based on an interference signal of the return light and the reference light. The fiber coupler is formed by a single mode fiber that has a cutoff wavelength that is shorter than that of the measurement light and longer than that of the guide light.
