Original Abstract Submitted
A temperature regulating unit is attached to a first incident surface of a first component through a first transparent electrode. The temperature regulating unit is composed of a Peltier element. The temperature regulating unit includes an opening through which the target light can pass. The temperature regulating unit has, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped outer shape in which a surface perpendicular to an optical axis is square-shaped. The opening is formed to penetrate through the temperature regulating unit in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and has a circular shape in a plan view.
