ABSTRACT:
A light wave guiding apparatus comprising an offset detector for detecting an offset from a predetermined axis is disclosed. A laser beam irradiator irradiates a laser beam having a maximum irradiation intensity in a predetermined orientation and the irradiation intensity decreasing progressively with the increase in the distance away from the orientation while being conically inclined from a predetermined axis. A photo-detector is located in an area irradiated by the laser beam and outputs a received light signal S corresponding to the irradiation intensity. A memory unit stores the relation between the amount of offset of the photo-detector from the predetermined axis and the received light signal S. The received light signal S of the photo-detector is compared with the data stored in the memory unit and the offset amount of the photo-detector is detected.
