An optical waveguide includes: a lower substrate; a waveguide core that is formed on the lower substrate; a clad that is formed to surround a periphery of the waveguide core; and an upper substrate that is opposed to the lower substrate, wherein the waveguide cores, the lower substrate and the upper substrate surround a cavity extended along the waveguide core.

A polymer optical circuit having a waveguide core and a clad surrounding the waveguide core is fabricated by: structuring a mold by a main mold and an auxiliary mold, the main mold being formed from an elastomer for mold formation and having a concavity corresponding to a portion of the waveguide core except for an end portion of a specific shape, an injection hole for injecting a resin for core formation into the concavity, and a suction hole for suctioning-out the resin for core formation injected in the concavity from the injection hole, and the auxiliary mold being formed from an elastomer for mold formation and having a concavity of a shape corresponding to the end portion of the specific shape of the waveguide core; firmly sticking a clad base film, that structures a portion of the clad, to a surface of the mold at a side where the concavity is formed; filling a resin for core formation into the concavity by injecting the resin for core formation into the concavity from the injection hole of the mold and suctioning the resin for core formation from the suction hole; and forming a waveguide core by curing the resin for core formation.

A production method of an optical waveguide includes: preparing a laminated body that includes a first clad layer and, on the first clad layer, a core layer and a second clad layer alternately laminated in this order so that two or more of the core layer are included in the laminated body; forming a light-propagating waveguide core by cutting the laminated body so as to reach but not cut through the first clad layer from a side where the core layer and the second clad layer are laminated; and embedding at least a cut portion of the laminated body with a third clad layer.
