Abstract:
1. An optical detection apparatus, capable of measuring a sample, the optical detection apparatus comprising: a plurality of light emission units, each capable of emitting a light beam; at least one light receiving unit, capable of receiving the light beam passing through the sample, and converting the light beam passing through the sample to an electrical signal; a driving unit, capable of changing the relative position of each of the light emission units and the sample; and an analyzing unit, electrically connected to the light receiving unit, and capable of measuring a property of the sample by using the electrical signal, wherein a number of the light receiving unit is less than a number of the light emission units, wherein the light emission units are arranged into a straight line along a row direction, and the driving unit is capable of moving the light emission units back and forth along the row direction when positions of the sample and the light receiving unit are fixed.
