A light wave measuring instrument has a small optical system. Beams from a laser light source illuminate a grating scale and plus-first-order-diffracted and minus-first-order-diffracted beams from the grating scale are diffracted and reflected so as to travel through their original optical paths. The beams are returned to a non-polarization beam splitter, transmitted through a quarter wavelength plate and converted into one straight polarized beam having a polarization direction varying with the phase difference between the two beams. The straight beam is then separated. The separate beams are separated into P and S polarized beams. The S polarized beams are reflected by a polarization film, while the P polarized beams are reflected by a parallel glass plate. These beams are transmitted through the polarization film again to become coherence signal beams having reverse phases of fringes, which are then emitted in the same direction.
