Abstract:
An illumination apparatus that illuminates an illumination zone having a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction is provided with a light source to emit a coherent light beam, and a diffraction optical device to diffract the coherent light beam incident from the light source. The diffraction optical device diffracts the incident coherent light beam so that a width of the illumination zone in the second direction gradually becomes wider along the first direction of the illumination zone from a nearer side to the diffraction optical device.

Claim (Index 11):
The illumination apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the diffraction optical device comprises a plurality of diffraction zones, the plurality of diffraction zones illuminating partial zones that are arranged in the second direction in the illumination zone and different from one another,\n wherein the light source varies a number to divide the illumination zone in the second direction by switching as to whether to make the coherent light beam incident on each of the plurality of diffraction zones.
