The second retroreflector includes a third and a fourth reflection surface opposite to the first reflection surface. The third retroreflector includes a fifth and a sixth reflection surface opposite to the second reflection surface. The first driving mechanism moves the first retroreflector and a set of the second retroreflector and the third retroreflector relative to each other. The second retroreflector and the third retroreflector are misaligned with each other in a direction along a first line of intersection between the first reflection surface and the second reflection surface.
