An optical sensor includes: a light emission module to emit a linearly polarized light beam having a first polarizing direction to a surface of an object in an incident direction inclined relative to a direction of a normal to the surface; a first photodetector module including a first photodetector disposed within a plane of incidence of the surface in an optical path inclined relative to an optical path of a light beam emitted from the light emission module and regularly reflected on the surface; and a second photodetector module including an optical element disposed within the plane of incidence of the surface in an optical path of a diffused reflection light beam from the surface to separate a linearly polarized light beam having a second polarizing direction perpendicular to the first polarizing direction, and a second photodetector to receive the light beam separated by the optical element. |
