Abstract
A pulsed light synchronizer synchronizes a first pulsed light having a first period and a second pulsed light and having a second period equal to the first period with each other. A third pulsed light is acquired by providing a first delay time between two pulsed lights acquired by dividing the first pulsed light, and by multiplexing the pulsed lights acquired from the first pulsed light. A fourth pulsed light is acquired by providing a second delay time between two pulsed lights acquired by dividing the second pulsed light, and by multiplexing the pulsed lights acquired from the second pulsed light. The pulsed light synchronizer detects, through a detector, a pulsed light acquired by multiplexing the third and fourth pulsed lights, and adjusts at least one of the first and second periods based on a timing difference between the third and fourth pulsed lights acquired from the detector.
