N2 - Multimode polymer optical waveguides with graded index perfect circular cores are fabricated using the Mosquito method. We both theoretically and experimentally confirm that monomer-flow caused by the monomer dispense with needle scan influences the core shape. In addition, we fabricate a waveguide with perfect circular cores showing 1.73-dB lower insertion loss compared to the waveguide with the cores having a deviation from a circle.
