Abstract
The present invention can detect smoke with high accuracy. A light emitting portion is provided with a light emitting element outputting the inspection light with high brightness, the distribution of which is adjusted. A reflection portion collects the inspection light from the light emitting element to the detection region. A diaphragm portion transmits the collected light toward the detection region, while removing light diffused to regions other than the detection region a light shielding portion shields the light diffused to the regions other than the detection region. The light emitting element is provided with a light source outputting the inspection light with high brightness and a parabolic reflective mirror whose curved surface reflects light from the light source toward the detection region, the reflected light being in a doughnut shape in which the center is relatively dark and the periphery is bright.
