Abstract:
A resin optical waveguide containing a core, an under cladding and an over cladding having refractive indices lower than that of the core, in which the resin optical waveguide has, at one end side of, a core-exposed section at which the over cladding is not present and the core and the under cladding nearby the core are exposed and, of the under cladding, a portion corresponding to the core-exposed section has a first layer and a second layer that satisfy a certain condition.

Claim (Index 10):
A resin optical waveguide comprising a core, an under cladding having a refractive index lower than that of the core, and an over cladding,\n wherein the resin optical waveguide comprises, at one end side thereof, a core-exposed section at which the over cladding is not present and the core and the under cladding nearby the core are exposed, and the core-exposed section has a length of 500 \u03bcm or more in a light propagation direction of the resin optical waveguide and, of the under cladding, a portion corresponding to the core-exposed section comprises a first layer and a second layer that satisfy the following (1) to (4): (1) the first layer and the second layer differ from each other in a distance from an interface with the core or an exposed surface of the under cladding, and the first layer is positioned on a near side to these surfaces and the second layer is positioned on a far side from these surfaces; (2) the first layer is positioned within 8 \u03bcm in the distance of from the interface with the core or the exposed surface of the under cladding; (3) the first layer and the second layer differ from each other in refractive index, and the first layer has a refractive index higher than that of the second layer; and (4) a difference (n 1,max -n 2,max ) between a maximum value n 1,max  of the refractive index of the first layer and a maximum value n 2,max  of the refractive index of the second layer is 0.002 or more.
