Abstract

Disclosed herein is an optical device including: a light-transmitting first main body which constitutes a part on a light incidence side; a light-transmitting second main body which constitutes a part on a light outgoing side; a third main body which is stacked between the first main body and the second main body in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and which defines a liquid chamber between the first main body and the second main body; a lens surface which is formed by an interface between a plurality of liquids differing in refractive index and sealed in the inside of the liquid chamber, and which is electrically deformable; and a jig which clamps the mutually stacked first main body, second main body, and third main body in the second direction by the third engaging part and the fourth engaging part.
