PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adaptive optical system by a space phase modulation unit that relaxes the dependency of modulation properties due to polarization of incident light, improves light utilization efficiency, and can correct the aberration of an object to be inspected.SOLUTION: An ophthalmologic imaging apparatus includes: a light modulation unit that performs modulation by a direction of one polarized light among two polarized lights included in light generated from a light source an alteration unit for rotating the modulated light by almost 90 degrees an irradiator for irradiating an eye to be examined with the modulated light, after the light modulation unit modulates the light emitted from the alteration unit so that the light is modulated by a direction of the one polarized light and an image acquiring unit for acquiring an image of the eye to be examined, based on a returned light from the eye to be examined, which is irradiated with the modulated light.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】入射光の偏光による変調特性の依存性を緩和し、光利用効率を向上させ、被検査物の収差を補正することが可能となる空間位相変調手段による補償光学系を提供する。【解決手段】光源から発生した光に含まれる2つの偏光のうち一方の偏光の向きで変調する光変調手段と、前記変調された光を略90度回転する変更手段と、前記光変調手段が前記変更手段からの光を前記一方の偏光の向きで変調するように該光を変調した後に、該変調された光を被検眼に照射する照射手段と、前記変調された光を照射された前記被検眼からの戻り光に基づいて、前記被検眼の画像を取得する画像取得手段と、を有する構成とする。【選択図】 図1
