Abstract
An optical property measuring apparatus and an optical property measuring method of the invention determine a specified optical property of a sample by using a distribution function indicating a distribution of the amounts of reflected light incident on an optical sensor along a coordinate axis defined on a light-sensing surface of the optical sensor. Therefore, even when the optical sensor is a light-sensing device provided with a relatively small number of photosensitive elements, it is possible to measure the specified optical property regardless of a position error of the sample, if any, and reduce errors in measurement values caused by such a sample position error.
