<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nitride semiconductor light-emitting element capable of being manufactured in a simple process and having a structure that reduces the optical waveguide loss in a curved optical waveguide. <P>SOLUTION: A nitride semiconductor light-emitting element comprises: a substrate 101 having a step 101b; and a stacked structure that is stacked on the substrate and has an n-type cladding layer 102, an active layer 104, and a p-type cladding layer 107. The stacked structure has an optical waveguide portion 10 including a curved optical waveguide 11. The outer region of the curve of the curved optical waveguide 11, which is located adjacent to the curved optical waveguide 11, is formed above the step 101b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
