Abstract

A spectrometry device wherein light rays emitted from an object face measurement point combine into one parallel light beam by an objective lens, this is divided into a first and second light beam by a phase shifter, and the first and second light beam emit toward a light-receiving face of a photodetector while providing an optical path length difference. A light-shielding plate is arranged on a face optically conjugate the object face respective to the objective lens, and only light passed through translucent portions of the light-shielding plate is directed to the objective lens. A lateral length of each light-shielding plate translucent portion and the interval between two adjacent translucent portions are based on the objective lens focal length, the distance from the phase shifter to the photodetector light-receiving face, a photodetector pixel pitch, a pixel length, and a predetermined wavelength range of the light emitted from the measurement point.
