Abstract
An optical apparatus may include three linear actuators, each of which drives a corresponding one of three optical elements, three drive units, each of which drives a corresponding one of the three linear actuators, and three position detectors, each of which detects a corresponding one of positions of the three optical elements. The three linear actuators may be arranged in different orientations. One of the three drive units and one of the three position detectors are disposed between two of the three linear actuators.
