Abstract
An optical sensor includes a case and an integrated light projector entirely within the case including a light emitter, a light projecting lens, and a light projecting lens holder configured to hold the light projecting lens. A light receiver of the optical sensor is configured to receive reflected light of light projected from the light projector, and a light receiver lens is configured to form an image of the reflected light on the light receiver. The light projector, the light receiver, and the light receiver lens are each independently and directly fixed to the case.
