A submount having a structure and a configuration resistant to an increase in manufacturing cost and a reduction in yields or reliability, and including an oblique waveguide is provided. A submount having a first surface and allowing a semiconductor light-emitting element including a waveguide to be fixed on the first surface, the waveguide having an axis line inclined at &thetas;WG (degrees) with respect to a normal to a light-incident/emission end surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element, and made of a semiconductor material with a refractive index nLE, the submount includes: a fusion-bonding material layer on the first surface; and an alignment mark formed in the fusion-bonding material layer, the alignment mark allowed to be recognized at an angle &thetas;SM=sin−1 [nLE·sin(&thetas;WG)/n0], where a refractive index of a light-transmitting medium in proximity to the outside of the light-incident/emission end surface of the semiconductor light-emitting element is n0.
