ABSTRACT:
An optical sensor (1) includes a sensor chip member (2) having an optical waveguide layer (21), a combination of an incidence end grating (22a) and an output end grating (22b) spaced from each other, in contact with the optical waveguide layer (21), and a reaction reagent (23) provided on the optical waveguide layer (21) to detect as an optical change a quantity of measurement object interposed between the incidence end grating (22a) and the output end grating (22b), and a chamber member (3) to have, when the sensor chip member (2) is assembled, a facing surface (F) in position facing the optical waveguide layer (21), and a gap (I) defined between the optical waveguide layer (21) and the facing surface (F), the reaction reagent (23) being disposed in the gap (I).
