1. An optical apparatus comprising:
a housing;
at least one component housed in the housing, the at least one component being configured to be energized and perform at least one of outputting light, receiving light, and changing a property of light;
a plurality of external connection conductors configured to penetrate through the housing; and
a flexible substrate housed in the housing, the flexible substrate including
an insulation layer,
a plurality of conductive wires each configured to perform at least one of
conduction between the component and the external connection conductors,
conduction between the external connection conductors, and
conduction between a plurality of the components each serving as the at least one component,
a base part in which the conductive wires are covered by the insulation layer, and
a plurality of arm parts protruding and extending from the base part, each including one of the conductive wires.
