MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND MEASUREMENT METHOD
First Claim
1. A measurement device, comprising:
- a light source configured to emit light having a predetermined wavelength;
a polarizer configured to convert the light emitted from the light source to linearly polarized light;
a modulator configured to modulate a polarization direction of the linearly polarized light;
at least one mirror configured to reflect the light modulated in the modulator in a measured object;
an analyzer configured to separate, on the basis of a polarization direction of transmission light transmitted through the measured object, scattered light scattered in the measured object from the transmission light; and
a detector configured to detect the transmission light separated from the scattered light in the analyzer.

Abstract
[Object] To measure a state of a body fluid with high accuracy in the case where a measured object is thin.
[Solution] Provided is a measurement device, including: a light source configured to emit light having a predetermined wavelength; a polarizer configured to convert the light emitted from the light source to linearly polarized light; a modulator configured to modulate a polarization direction of the linearly polarized light; at least one mirror configured to reflect the light modulated in the modulator in a measured object; an analyzer configured to separate, on the basis of a polarization direction of transmission light transmitted through the measured object, scattered light scattered in the measured object from the transmission light; and a detector configured to detect the transmission light separated from the scattered light in the analyzer.
