The optical connector comprises: an optical waveguide including cores for transmitting light, an under cladding layer provided under the cores, and an over cladding layer provided over the cores; and a ferrule section for optical connection provided in each end portion of the optical waveguide. Part of at least one of the over cladding layer and the under cladding layer lying in a location corresponding to each end portion of the optical waveguide is thick-walled to become the ferrule section for optical connection. A thin-walled part of the optical connector lying between the ferrule sections is an optical waveguide section. The optical connector requires no additional component as a ferrule, and is made small in size.

摘要： A mold for the formation of an over cladding layer in an optical waveguide is integrally produced from a light-transmissive resin and a light-transmissive support plate by molding using a mold member identical in shape with the over cladding layer. In the production of the mold, a hollow resulting from the removal of the mold member serves as a cavity for the formation of the over cladding layer. For the formation of the over cladding layer, the cavity of the mold is filled with a photosensitive resin for the formation of the over cladding layer, and the photosensitive resin is cured by being exposed to light through the mold while cores formed in a pattern on a surface of an under cladding layer are immersed in the photosensitive resin.

摘要： A method of manufacturing an optical waveguide is provided in which a mold that prevents fins or burrs from being formed is used for the formation of an over cladding layer in the optical waveguide. The mold for the formation of the over cladding layer is produced from a light-transmissive resin by molding using a mold member including a protruding portion identical in shape with the over cladding layer and a ridge portion provided around the protruding portion. For the formation of the over cladding layer, the cavity is filled with a photosensitive resin for the formation of the over cladding layer, and the photosensitive resin is cured by being exposed to light through the mold while cores formed on a surface of an under cladding layer are immersed in the photosensitive resin and part of the photosensitive resin spilling out of the cavity is collected in the groove.

摘要： A method of manufacturing an optical waveguide is provided which enables a recognition device such as a CCD camera to easily recognize an alignment mark for positioning a mold for over cladding layer formation. The method includes the steps of: forming protruding cores and a protruding alignment mark on an upper surface of an under cladding layer on a substrate by a photolithographic method; and forming the over cladding layer by use of the mold positioned using the alignment mark as a guide. For the formation of the alignment mark, a photomask is used which has an opening pattern for alignment mark formation including an opening, and a light transmission amount reduction region provided around the opening and having an aperture ratio within a range greater than 10% and less than 80%. The alignment mark is formed to have a peripheral side surface in the form of an inclined surface.
