Abstract
An optical device includes: a first optical system; and a second optical system. The first optical system includes a first light splitting device configured to split measurement light emitted from a first light source into a first measurement light and a second measurement light and then mix the split measurement light, a first mirror configured to add a first modulation signal by being moved in an entering direction of the first measurement light and reflecting the first measurement light, a second mirror configured to reflect the second measurement light, and a first light receiving device configured to receive the measurement light including a sample-derived signal and the first modulation signal and output a first light receiving signal. The second optical system includes a second light source configured to emit laser light, an optical modulator configured to add a second modulation signal to the laser light, and a second light receiving device configured to receive the laser light including a displacement signal generated by reflection on the first mirror and the second modulation signal and output a second light receiving signal.
