A photodetector includes a plurality of cells each configured to detect light and including: a light receiving element configured to output an electrical signal upon receipt of the light, a resistor connected to the light receiving element, and first and second switches connected to the resister. Either the first switch or the second switch is turned on according to a selection signal. The photodetector further includes a first output terminal connected to the first switch of each of the cells and through which a first output signal is output based on the electrical signal that has been output from the first switch, and a second output terminal connected to the second switch of each of the cells and through which a second output signal is output based on the electrical signal that has been output from the second switch.
