An optical waveguide includes: a center layer including at least two core
layers whose edges are on substantially the same plane, and a first
cladding layer provided between adjacent core layers; and a second
cladding layer provided at least on both of front and rear surfaces of
the center layer. At least surfaces of the core layer and the first
cladding layer that are in contact with the second cladding layer include
at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a resin having a
hydroxyl group and a resin containing a silicon-silicon bond at a main
chain thereof, and the second cladding layer includes a silicone resin.
