Abstract

Displacement measuring device with light irradiation system, first and second FBGs and detecting system. The first FBG has first transmittance distribution or first reflectance distribution. The second FBG has second transmittance distribution or second reflectance distribution. The detecting system detects light passed through the first and second FBGs of which at least one of the first transmittance distribution and the second transmittance distribution changes in a wavelength direction with a change amount different from that of the other, according to a displacement amount of an object, or amplitude of the light passed through the first and the second FBGs of which at least one of the first reflectance distribution and the second reflectance distribution changes in the wavelength direction with a change amount different from that of the other, according to the displacement amount of the object, and acquires an index to indicate the displacement amount based on the amplitude.
