Abstract:
An optical sensor and an abnormality detection method therefor are provided. The optical sensor includes a light source device that generates light to be irradiated to an object; a light receiving part that receives a reflected light from the object; a branch part that fuses a first optical fiber optically coupled to the light source device and a second optical fiber optically coupled to the light receiving part to join with one end of a third optical fiber facing the object; and a processing part that determines whether junction abnormality occurs at a junction between the third optical fiber and the branch part based on whether an increment in a received light amount detected by the light receiving part with respect to a reference detection amount which is detected in a state of no reflection from the other end of the third optical fiber is within a predetermined range.

Claim (Index 14):
The optical sensor according to  claim 8 , wherein when determining that generation of light from the light source device has stopped, the processing part stops light projection of the light source device.
