Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an optical waveguide capable of enhancing the suppression of crosstalk. This optical waveguide includes: under claddings; cores for light propagation arranged in side-by-side relation on surfaces of the respective under claddings; over claddings covering the cores; and a light absorbing part provided between adjacent ones of the cores and adjacent to light exit member connecting portions for connection to light exit members, the light exit member connecting portions being disposed in first end portions of the adjacent cores, the light absorbing part being in non-contacting relationship with the cores. The light absorbing part contains a light absorbing agent having an ability to absorb light exiting the light exit members. The optical waveguide is produced on a surface of a substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical waveguide comprising:\n a plurality of cores for light propagation arranged in side-by-side relation; and a light absorbing part provided between adjacent ones of the cores for light propagation, the light absorbing part being in non-contacting relationship with the cores, wherein each of the cores has a first end portion serving as a light exit member connecting portion for connection to a light exit member, and wherein the light absorbing part is positioned adjacent to the light exit member connecting portions disposed in the first end portions of the adjacent cores, and contains a light absorbing agent having an ability to absorb light exiting the light exit members.
