1. A light spot position measuring apparatus comprising:

  • optical conversion means for converting an incident light into a plurality of linear images intersecting each other;

    image pickup means for receiving the linear images and producing corresponding image data; and

    image processing means for processing the image data to derive a plurality of straight lines corresponding to the linear images and for deriving an intersection point of the straight lines to determine a position of a light spot from which the incident light emanates;

    wherein said optical conversion means includes a plurality of cylindrical lens surfaces having cylinder axes intersecting each other so as to form said linear images.
