Abstract
A quantum cascade laser includes: a substrate having a principal surface, a back surface, and a substrate end face, the substrate end face extending along a reference plane intersecting a second direction which intersects the first direction; a semiconductor laminate having a laminate end face extending along the reference plane; a first electrode disposed on the semiconductor laminate; a second electrode disposed on the substrate; a first insulating film disposed on the laminate end face and the first electrode; a metal film disposed on the first insulating film, the laminate end face, the substrate end face, and the second electrode; and a second insulating film disposed on the first electrode, the second insulating film having a part on the first electrode between the metal film and the semiconductor laminate. On the first electrode, the second insulating film has a thickness larger than that of the first insulating film.
