Light emitting element

Abstract

A light emitting element includes: a light emitting part that is formed on a front surface side of a semi-insulating substrate; and a light receiving part that is formed on the front surface side, that shares a semiconductor layer with the light emitting part, and that receives light propagating in a lateral direction through the semiconductor layer from the light emitting part, wherein anode electrodes and cathode electrodes of the light emitting part and the light receiving part are formed on the front surface side in a state in which the anode electrodes are separated from each other and the cathode electrodes are separated from each other.
