Abstract:
Provided is a laser sensor including an optical window with high accuracy and having excellent dustproof and waterproof properties. The laser sensor includes: a light projector; a light receiver to detect reflection light from a detection object to which laser light is emitted from the light projector; and an exterior component covering the light projector and the light receiver, in which the exterior component includes an optical window that transmits the laser light and the reflection light, and a holder that surrounds an outer periphery of the optical window, the optical window and the holder are formed as an integrally-molded product made of a resin having transmittivity in a wavelength band of the laser light, the optical window includes a pair of curved optical surfaces facing each other, and the holder includes: a gate part at a position relatively distant from the optical window; and a light shielding part that is at least adjacent to the optical window and shields the laser light L1 and ambient light.
