Abstract

Sticking of core layer is suppressed, and deterioration of sensitivity of a sensor is prevented. An optical waveguide () includes a substrate (), a core layer (), a support, and a protrusion (). The core layer () can transmit light. The support connects at least a portion of the substrate () and a portion of the core layer () together. The support supports the core layer (). The protrusion () is arranged at a position different from a position of the support in a space between the substrate () and the core layer (). The protrusion () has a maximum height at a position deviated from a central position cp of the core layer () in a width direction. The protrusion () protrudes toward the core layer () from the substrate ().
