Abstract
In a light emitting device, a light waveguide is provided with a first region including a central position, a second region including a first light emission surface, and a third region including a second light emission surface. A second cladding layer includes a plurality of noncontact regions. The plurality of noncontact regions intersect the light waveguide. A ratio of an area in which the plurality of noncontact regions overlap the first region to an area of the first region is greater than a ratio of an area in which the plurality of noncontact regions overlap the second region to an area of the second region, and is greater than a ratio of an area in which the plurality of noncontact regions overlap the third region to an area of the third region.
