Abstract
An optical sensor system is provided which can be used not only as an ordinary light source, but also to calculate an environmental parameter. Rear surface outgoing light () output from a rear surface () of a semiconductor laser () is used in a process of calculating an environmental parameter by control and arithmetic device () to, while front surface outgoing light () output from a front surface () is used in an application other than the calculation of the environmental parameter.
