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.

An optical waveguide film of an optical reception and transmission module guides light. A first optical path converting part of an optical transmission unit guides light. A mirror surface of a first optical path converting part bends light which is emitted from a light emitting element and which enters the first optical path converting part. A first holding member holds the light emitting element and the first optical path converting part. A second optical path converting part of an optical reception unit guides light. A mirror surface of a second optical path converting part bends the guided light. A second holding member holds the light receiving element and the second optical path converting part. A first supporting member supports the first end portion of the optical waveguide film. A second supporting member supports the second end portion of the optical waveguide film.
