Abstract
Provided is a scanning device including a first irradiation unit, a second irradiation unit, a scanning unit, a waveguide unit, and a detection unit. The first irradiation unit radiates a first electromagnetic wave for scanning an object of interest. The second irradiation unit radiates a second electromagnetic wave. The scanning unit deflects and outputs the first electromagnetic wave radiated by the first irradiation unit and the second electromagnetic wave radiated by the second irradiation unit. The waveguide unit guides at least part of the second electromagnetic wave, output by the scanning unit, in a different direction from the first electromagnetic wave. The detection unit detects the second electromagnetic wave guided in the different direction from the first electromagnetic wave by the waveguide unit.
