Abstract

This application discloses a detection apparatus, a shunt circuit, and a terminal device. The detection apparatus may include a detection unit, an optical-to-electrical conversion unit, and a shunt circuit. The optical-to-electrical conversion unit performs optical-to-electrical conversion on an optical signal received by the detection unit, to obtain a current signal including a first current signal. The shunt circuit may shunt the first current signal to obtain N second current signals used to generate N second voltage signals.
