With this configuration, a large amount of frequency shift can be provided between the signal light and the local oscillator light, and thus, the distance to the target can be measured with high resolution by using short pulsed-light.

摘要: An optical transmission unit (3) transmits an optical signal having a light intensity set as a Low level component of a pulse. An optical partial reflector (6) is provided on a path through which transmission light is transmitted from a circulator (5) to the atmosphere, and reflects the optical signal. A detection unit (11) performs coherent detection on reception light using, as local light, a signal in a Low level section in the optical signal reflected by the optical partial reflector (6).
