1. A dummy bar configured to align a laser diode bar during deposition of an insulating film on a front end face and a rear end face of the laser diode bar, the dummy bar comprising:
a body part having a plate shape, and including a pair of side surfaces, an upper surface, and a lower surface, the body part having a longitudinal length equal to a longitudinal length of the laser diode bar, the pair of side surfaces being located at opposite surfaces of the body part in a first direction, the pair of side surfaces being orthogonal to a longitudinal direction, the upper surface and the lower surface being located at opposite surfaces of the body part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the upper surface and the lower surface being orthogonal to the pair of side surfaces, the upper surface and the lower surface being parallel to a thickness direction of the plate shape; and
a handle part provided at a position separated from the lower surface,
wherein each of the pair of side surfaces includes a first surface above the handle part and a second surface below the handle part, and the handle part protrudes in the longitudinal direction from each of the pair of side surfaces at a position between the first surface and the second surface.
