The object is to provide a technology capable of efficiently injecting a current into a core layer of a buried waveguide. On one end side of the substrate, a buried waveguide including a core layer, a cladding layer, and a current blocking layer is disposed, both sides of the core layer in a layer-stacking direction are sandwiched by the cladding layer, and both sides of the core layer in a width direction that is perpendicular to the layer-stacking direction are sandwiched by the current blocking layer. On another end side of the substrate, a ridge waveguide including the core layer and the cladding layer is disposed, and both sides of the core layer in the layer-stacking direction are sandwiched by the cladding layer.
