  • Patent number: 8270785
    Abstract: A method for cross connecting optical signals includes using a common beam steerer to direct a set of optical signals from a set of input ports to a set of output ports. The method further includes adjusting a curvature of the common beam steerer so that paths of the optical signals have substantially the same effective path length.

  • Patent number: 7994021
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided, including a step of forming a layer which absorbs light over one face of a first substrate, a step of providing a second substrate over the layer which absorbs light, a step of providing a mask to oppose the other face of the first substrate, and a step of transferring the part of the layer which absorbs light to the second substrate by irradiating the layer which absorbs light with a laser beam through the mask.
