Abstract
A surveying instrument include a distance measuring light projecting module having a light emitting module configured to project a distance measuring light to an object and a one-dimensional diffusion optical member configured to diffuse the distance measuring light in a one-dimensional direction, a distance measuring light receiving module having a photodetector configured to receive a reflected distance measuring light from the object, and an arithmetic control module configured to control the light emitting module and calculate a distance to the object based on a light reception result of the reflected distance measuring light with respect to the photodetector, wherein the light emitting module has at least two light emitters laminated in one direction, and the one-dimensional diffusion optical member is configured to diffuse the distance measuring light in a laminating direction of the light emitters.
