Abstract

A stress measurement device for strengthened glass includes a polarization phase difference variable member configured to vary a polarization phase difference of a laser light by one wavelength of the laser light or more; an imaging element configured to image a plurality of times at a predetermined time interval a scattered light emitted according to the laser light with the varied polarization phase difference entering the strengthened glass, and obtain a plurality of images; and an arithmetic unit configured to measure a periodic change in luminance of the scattered light using the plurality of images, calculate a change in a phase of the change in luminance, and calculate a stress distribution in a depth direction from a surface of the strengthened glass based on the change in the phase.
