There is provided an aromatic polycarbonate copolymer obtained by reacting a dihydric phenol component comprising mainly 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane and 9,9-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene or 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylethane in a prescribed ratio with a carbonate precursor substance. This aromatic polycarbonate copolymer has a specific viscosity in a limited range. The aromatic polycarbonate copolymer is excellent in optical characteristics, transparency, hydrolysis resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and heat stability and good in moldability, and is suitable for a plastic optical waveguide that is small in transmission loss and excellent in heat resistance.
