Original Abstract Submitted

A transmitter includes a light source including a first light emitter and a second light emitter, a spatial light modulator including a modulation part that modulates light emitted from the light source, a first mirror that is arranged on a first optical path of the modulated light modulated by the modulation part and reflects the modulated light toward a first projection direction, and a second mirror that is arranged on a second optical path of the modulated light modulated by the modulation part and reflects the modulated light toward the first projection direction.
