Abstract
An angle measurement device according to the present invention relates to an angle measurement device for measuring an incident angle of an incident light ray, and includes: at least one light deflector; a driving power supply; a light receiver; and a calculation unit. The light deflector is of a transmission type, has an electro-optic effect, and is configured to change an optical path of the light ray by a voltage applied from the driving power supply, and cause the light ray to enter the light receiver. The calculation unit is configured to calculate the incident angle based on the voltage at which an intensity of the light ray detected by the light receiver is maximum.
