An optical waveguide includes a layer A and a plurality of cores enclosed in a cladding. During production of the optical waveguide, a layered film including alternate layers of a core layer and a cladding layer is cut so as to form a groove that penetrates through the layered film in a thickness direction and so as to form a plurality of core portions, and the layer A is provided so as to partially fill the groove depthwise and so as to maintain spacing between the plurality of core portions before the core portions is enclosed by the cladding.

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.

The invention relates to a method for producing a polymeric optical waveguide-forming master plate, comprising: laying a thread which does not transmit rays used for subsequent exposure on a substrate for a master plate, applying a positive resist material onto the substrate to have a thickness such that, when parallel rays are vertically radiated onto the resist from a side opposite to a substrate side with respect to the thread and then the resist is developed, a layer made of the resist is formed at whole space where the rays have not been radiated; radiating parallel rays substantially vertically to the substrate to expose the resist to the rays; and developing the exposed resist on the substrate to form a convex portion corresponding to a shape of an optical waveguide core, to waveguide production methods using the same, and to the resultant waveguide.
