A light source image, i.e., a near field pattern of the light-emitting face of a laser diode which emits laser light having the electric field component in a predetermined direction is formed by an imaging lens at an image forming position of a smoke detecting area through which a flow of sucked air passes. A light receiving device is disposed on an optical axis which passes through the image forming position of a light source image in the smoke detecting area and which is set in a plane that is substantially parallel to the direction of the electric field component of the laser light, and receives scattered light due to a smoke particle passing through the imaging position of the light source image and the vicinity of the imaging position. |
