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 7):
The optical sensor according to  claim 6 , wherein when the area value is less than or equal to the positive second threshold value, the processing part determines that abnormality occurs in generation of light from the light source device.
