According to the present invention, in a polarimetry for allowing a light to be incident upon a specimen with a spontaneous optical active substance, a polarized light is allowed to be incident upon the specimen while micro-vibrating the plane of vibration; a component having a specific plane of vibration is detected out of the polarized light through the specimen; a component with a certain angular frequency is extracted; and an angle of rotation attributed to the specimen is calculated based on 3 or more groups of data including a relative angle formed between the plane of vibration of the light incident upon the specimen and the plane of vibration of the light, and an intensity of the component with the angular frequency obtained at the relative angle. Consequently, the influence of noises mixed due to bubbles, particles and the like can be eliminated, thereby achieving a stable and highly accurate measurement in a shorter time.
