Abstract

Outputs of first and second photodetectors are supplied to first and second normalizing circuits and are also added by an adding circuit. An output of the adding circuit is supplied to the normalizing circuits. By the output supplied from the adding circuit to the normalizing circuits, the outputs supplied from the photodetectors to the normalizing circuits are normalized. A subtraction is performed between the outputs of the normalizing circuits by a subtracting circuit.
