Abstract

A light irradiation device includes a light source, an optical member and a sensor. The light source emits light. The optical member is supported so as to rotate around a rotation axis and includes a prism part that emits detection light based on the light. The sensor receives the detection light and detects a light amount of the detection light. The light amount of the detection light received by the sensor changes depending on a position of the optical member in a rotation direction when the optical member rotates.
