PURPOSE: To miniaturize the optical deflector and to reduce its cost by providing a space optical modulator whose refractive index is varied by the heat of a heating means, controlling a heating temperature, and varying a refractive index distribution. CONSTITUTION: A heater 13 being a heating means and thermoplastic 11 being a space optical modulator are provided. In front of the plastic 11, a reflected film is brought to coating, and in front thereof, a half mirror is placed at the angle of 45°. As a result, incident light from the left direction is reflected toward the reflecting surface of the plastic 11, and transmits through the half mirror. In such a case, when the plastic 11 is brought to temperature control by the heater 13, as for the plastic 11, the refractive index distribution is varied by its expansion. Therefore, without using a mechanical driving part, the direction of light is controlled, and a motor having high accuracy becomes unnecessary. In such a way, the number of ...
