Abstract

A phase difference control device comprises: a splitting polarizer splitting a light incident from a light source into a measurement light and a reference light, both of which are linearly polarized; a PEM imparting a phase difference to the measurement and reference lights to correspond to the spectrometry; a PEM driver supplying a modulation voltage to the PEM; a PEM control circuit inputting the reference light as a feedback signal and outputting a modulation control quantity signal to the PEM driver; and a CPU circuit monitoring the wavelength of the light in the splitting polarizer to input a wavelength variation as a wavelength signal, wherein the CPU circuit converts the wavelength signal to a feedforward signal which is output to the PEM control circuit; and the PEM control circuit performs arithmetic processing by the feedback and feedforward signals to output the modulation control quantity signal to the PEM driver.
