Abstract

A biological fluid information acquisition apparatus includes a light source, a prism, a first light receiving element, a second light receiving element, a differential circuit, and a signal processing unit. The prism has a first boundary face that branches a laser beam emitted from the light source into a first luminous flux and a second luminous flux, a second boundary face that totally reflects the second luminous flux, a third boundary face that totally reflects the second luminous flux reflected by the second boundary face, and a fourth boundary face emitting the second luminous flux reflected by the third boundary face, and, when a width direction of the biological fluid information acquisition apparatus is an X direction and a thickness direction of the biological fluid information acquisition apparatus orthogonal to the X direction is a Y direction, an interval between the second boundary face and the third boundary face in the Y direction is shorter than an interval between the first boundary face and the fourth boundary face in the X direction.
