Abstract

A spectrometry device 1 includes: a collimating optical system 15 configured to collimate object light from a measurement point a on a sample S; a photodetector 21 having a light-receiving face in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a predetermined direction; a conjugate plane imaging optical system 11 provided between the sample and the collimating optical system to form a plane optically conjugate with respect to a surface of the sample; an amplitude-type diffraction grating 1 disposed on the conjugate surface and having a light incident face on which the object light is incident or a light emission face from which the object light is emitted, the light incident face or the light emission face being formed by a light-shielding member made of a material having a light shielding rate higher than that of silicon in a wavelength band of the object light and provided with a plurality of openings, an optical path length differentiating optical system 16 configured to divide collimated object light into a first light beam and a second light beam to provide an optical path length difference; and an interference optical system 17 configured to cause the first light beam and the sec…
