Abstract

Disclosed is an information detecting system of scanning type which comprises a substrate formed with an optical waveguide layer, a laser oscillator emitting a laser beam, a SAW type beam deflecting device formed on the optical waveguide layer, a beam irradiating section irradiating a specimen with the laser beam derived from the optical waveguide layer, a controller controlling the frequency of a high-frequency voltage applied to the SAW type beam deflecting device so as to scan the specimen with the laser beam directed from the beam irradiating section, and a detecting section detecting the position and/or the intensity of the laser beam scanning the specimen with respect to the SAW control signal controlled by the controller.
