A method of producing a polymer optical waveguide, including: preparing a
mold; preparing a lower film base material; introducing a core-forming
curable resin into a first through-hole of the mold with which the lower
film base material is brought into close contact while sucking the
concave portion of the mold from a second through-hole under reduced
pressure to introduce the core-forming curable resin into the concave
portion of the mold; curing the core-forming curable resin which has been
introduced; removing the mold from the lower film base material;
providing a clad-forming curable resin layer and an upper film base
material, the clad-forming curable resin layer being sandwiched between
the lower film base material, on which the core is formed, and the upper
film base material; and curing the clad-forming curable resin layer to
fix the lower film base material and the upper film base material.
