Abstract

A distance detecting apparatus and a method thereof includes a dual wavelength tuning light source configured to transmit a transmission optical signal by performing band tunability and fine tunability on an optical signal based on non-mechanical scanning; a transmitter optical system configured to transmit the transmission optical signal received from the dual wavelength tuning light source to an outside: a receiver optical system configured to extract a wavelength difference between a reception optical signal received from the outside and the transmission optical signal received from the dual wavelength tuning light source; and a signal processor configured to receive the wavelength difference from the receiver optical system and convert the wavelength difference into distance information.
