That is, an insulating film 21 is formed on the front half of the upper surface of the submount 20 made of a conductive material, and the individual electrodes 6 and 7 are formed on the insulating film 21. A region of the submount 20 where the insulating film 21 is not formed functions as the common electrode 8. A lower surface electrode may be provided, but can be omitted when the lower surface itself of the submount 20 functions as the electrode 9 like the common electrode 8. Other configurations can be the same as the previous embodiment shown in FIGS.
