    Abstract: A light measurement device that maintains high measurement precision. The light measurement device includes: light source that irradiates light upon measurement object; branch part that splits transmitted light or reflected light from measurement object; phase-changing unit that changes the phase of one beam of the branched light beams; phase-fixing unit that maintains the phase of the other beam of the branched light beams; adjustment mechanism, which is provided in phase-changing unit or phase-fixing unit, for adjusting the propagation direction of light; multiplexer that causes the light emitted by each of phase-changing unit and phase-fixing unit to interfere with each other; detection unit that detects light that is interfered with by multiplexer; and control unit that controls the adjustment mechanism on the basis of the luminance values of an interference image that is detected by detection unit and adjusts the propagation direction of light in phase-changing unit or phase-fixing unit.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sphygmomanometer that has a high level of measurement accuracy and places a low burden upon a subject whose systolic pressure is being measured. To this end, the sphygmomanometer according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a cuff pressure and pulse wave detecting unit that detects cuff pressure and pulse waves; and a blood pressure calculating unit that divides pulse waves detected by the cuff pressure and pulse wave detecting unit into a plurality of sections within a specific period, and calculates an estimated value for systolic pressure on the basis of fluctuations in the symmetry of the pulse wave waveform in the plurality of sections, said fluctuations occurring along with variations in the cuff pressure detected by the cuff pressure and pulse wave detecting unit.

    Abstract: [Object]To obtain interference light having a stronger light intensity, and to more accurately measure a refractive index of a measured object, with a simplified configuration.[Solution Means]A light measurement device 100 includes a phase adjustment unit 120 and a detector 140. The phase adjustment unit 120 outputs reference light E(R) based on object light E1 being light to be obtained by transmission or reflection of light E from a light source with respect to a measured object 200, and signal light E(S) whose phase is adjusted to be different from a phase of signal light. The detector 140 derives a transmission or reflection light intensity distribution or a refractive index of the measured object 200, based on interference light E2 between signal light E(S) and reference light E(R) to be output by the phase adjustment unit 120. An optical axis of light E from a light source is linearly disposed. The phase adjustment unit 120 and the detector 140 are disposed on the optical axis of light E from a light source.
