ABSTRACT:
A unit for measuring optical properties. The unit includes the first through sixth reflecting surfaces, a reflecting surface rotating device and an object moving device. In order to accurately measure transmittance, reflectance and phase change in transmittance or reflection of optical elements, especially transmittance of a thick object, the first through the fourth reflecting surfaces M1-M4 are arranged so that an optical path formed by the reflecting surfaces M1-M4 has a shape like an "N" letter and so that light of incidence L1 has the same optical axis as exit light L2. An optical center O is a point that a line segment that connects a point of incidence A with an exit point D intersects an optical path that connects the reflecting surface M2 with the reflecting surface M3. The reflecting surface M2 is an ellipsoid of revolution having foci of the optical center O and the point of incidence A. The reflecting surface M3 is an ellipsoid of revolution having foci of the optical center and the exit point D. A reflecting surface rotating device rotates M4 at the exit point D in conjunction with the reflecting surface M1 that is rotated at the point of incidence A. The reflecting surface M5 is a parabolic mirror that makes light reflected from the reflecting surface M1 parallel. M6 is a parabolic mirror that converges light reflected from the reflecting surface M5 onto the reflecting mirror M4.
