Abstract

An electromagnetic wave irradiated by an irradiator () is incident on and reflected by a movable reflection unit (). The control unit () controls the irradiator () and the movable reflection unit (). A sensor () is disposed at a position through which the electromagnetic wave when an irradiation direction of the electromagnetic wave is moved in a first direction. Then, the control unit () executes the following processing in setting a movement range of the movable reflection unit (). First, a detection value (first detection value) of the sensor () when light is irradiated at a first position Sa positioned ahead of the sensor () in the first direction is recognized. Next, a detection value (second detection value) of the sensor () when light is irradiated at a second position Sb positioned behind the sensor () in the first direction is recognized. Then, the movement range of the movable reflection unit () is set using the first detection value and the second detection value.
