A quantum cascade laser includes a substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a recess provided in the second surface; a semiconductor region provided on the first surface of the substrate; a ridge portion extending in one direction on the semiconductor region; a first electrode provided along the ridge portion; and a second electrode provided on the second surface of the substrate. Furthermore, the semiconductor region includes a first cladding layer of n-type, a core layer, and a second cladding layer of n-type stacked in that order. The recess is provided at a position corresponding to the ridge portion in the second surface of the substrate, and the second electrode is provided in the recess.
