Abstract:
Provided are an optical waveguide capable of propagating light, and a position sensor and an optical circuit board including the same. The optical waveguide includes cores each partially formed in an S-shape. The S-shaped portion includes a first curved portion upstream as seen in the direction of light propagation, and a second curved portion downstream as seen in the direction of light propagation and curved in a direction opposite to the first curved portion. The first curved portion and the second curved portion are connected to each other via a straight portion having a length in the range of greater than 0 mm to 30 mm. One of the width of the exit of the first curved portion and the width of the entrance of the second curved portion is smaller than the width of a core portion upstream of the S-shaped portion.

Claim (Index 12):
An optical circuit board comprising:\n an optical waveguide as recited in  claim 1 ; and an optical member optically connected to an end portion of the core of the optical waveguide.
