Abstract
A vehicular optical radar apparatus comprising a light emitting portion for irradiating a signal light on an object ahead and a light receiving portion for receiving a reflected light from the object. At least one of a light emitting lens and a light receiving lens are deformation-worked so that a distance between optical centers of the light emitting and receiving portions can be moved closer together, and an angle formed between an incident axis of incoming light and so that an outgoing light becomes small.
