Abstract

See full text

An optical displacement measuring apparatus of the present invention optically measures a displacement amount of an object. The apparatus includes: image forming means for forming an image indicative of the displacement amount of the object achieved between first and second timings; first modulating means for modulating coherent light in accordance with the image; first Fourier transform means for subjecting the coherent light modulated by said first modulating means to Fourier transformation to thereby form a first Fourier image; second modulating means for modulating coherent light in accordance with the first Fourier image; second Fourier transform means for subjecting the coherent light modulated by said second modulating means to Fourier transformation to thereby form a second Fourier image; detecting means for detecting peak position of the second Fourier image indicative of the displacement amount of the object between the first and second timings; and time interval adjusting means for adjusting a time interval defined between the first and second timings.
