ABSTRACT:
A displacement detection apparatus includes a light source for emitting light and an extinction ratio conversion element which raises an extinction ratio of the light to 20 dB or more. A condenser lens condenses the light having the increased extinction ratio and a polarization maintaining type optical fiber transmits the condensed light which is subsequently transferred to a diffraction grating that is attached to an object to be measured. The displacement detection apparatus adjusts a polarization axis of the light having increased extinction ratio.
