Explanation:
A half-mirror (ハルフミラー) most likely refers to a half-silvered mirror (or semi-silvered mirror, or beam splitter), where half the pulsed light (パルス光) is transmitted through the mirror and the other half (の一部) is redirected/reflected/split off from the pulsed light direction, in this case towards the light receiving device (受光装置).
