Abstract
A modulator according to the embodiment is a modulator provided between a diffraction grating and an image sensor. The modulator receives a light ray directed to the image sensor from the diffraction grating, and changes a travel direction of the light ray emitted toward the image sensor so as to bend a recording direction of a diffraction image for each wavelength of the light ray on a light receiving surface of the image sensor.
