<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an optical waveguide, which enables the formation of a smooth mirror. <P>SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing an optical waveguide having a mirror face includes: a photocurable resin sheet laminating step of laminating an uncured photocurable resin sheet for forming a core on a surface of a first cladding layer that has been formed on a substrate; a mirror face forming step of forming a mirror face for guiding light to the core by pressing a die provided with a blade having, in a cross-section, a 45°inclined plane into the photocurable resin sheet; after the mirror face forming step, a core forming step of forming a core having the mirror face positioned at an end thereof by selectively exposing to light, and developing, the photocurable resin sheet; and a cladding layer forming step of forming a second cladding layer so as to bury the core. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
