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 10):
The optical waveguide according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the width of the exit of the first curved portion is smaller than the width of the core portion upstream of the S-shaped portion, wherein the width of the first curved portion decreases gradually from the entrance of the first curved portion toward the exit thereof, wherein the width of the straight portion and the width of the second curved portion are constant in the longitudinal direction thereof, and wherein the width of the exit of the first curved portion, the width of the straight portion, and the width of the second curved portion are equal to each other.
