There is obtained a laser processing method by which an excellent shape of a cut surface can be achieved and an increase in cost can be suppressed. A laser processing method includes the steps of: preparing a material to be processed; and forming a modified area in the material to be processed, by irradiating the material to be processed with laser beam. In the aforementioned step, pulsed laser beam having a continuous spectrum is focused with a lens, thereby forming a focusing line constituted by a plurality of focuses that are obtained by predetermined bands forming the continuous spectrum of the laser beam, and the material to be processed is irradiated with the laser beam such that at least a part of the focusing line is located on a surface of the material to be processed, thereby forming the modified area on an axis of the focusing line.

A stack of a vertical fin and a planar semiconductor portion are formed on a buried insulator layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. A hybrid field effect transistor (FET) is formed which incorporates a finFET located on the vertical fin and a planar FET located on the planar semiconductor portion. The planar FET enables a continuous spectrum of on-current. The surfaces of the vertical fin and the planar semiconductor portion may be set to coincide with crystallographic orientations. Further, different crystallographic orientations may be selected for the surfaces of the vertical fin and the surfaces of the planar semiconductor portion to tailor the characteristics of the hybrid FET.

An advanced channel storage and retrieving system is achieved that is capable of simultaneously transporting multiple-stream data concurrently, with encryptions and error detection and limited correction capability using wavefront (WF) multiplexing (muxing) at the pre-processing and WF demultiplexing (de-muxing) in the post-processing. The WF muxing and demuxing processing can be applied for multiple signal streams with similar contents and format such as cable TV delivery systems or multiple signal streams with very distinct contents and format such as Karaoke multimedia systems. The stored or transported data are preprocessed by a WF muxing processor and are in the formats of multiple sub-channels. Signals in each sub-channel are results of unique linear combination of all the input signals streams. Conversely, an input signal stream is replicated and appears on all the sub-channels. Furthermore the replicated streams in various sub-channels are “linked” together by a unique phase weighting vector, which is called “wavefront” or WF. Various input signal streams will feature different WFs among their replicated signal streams in the sub-channels. The WF muxing processing is capable to generating a set of orthogonal WFs, and the WF demuxing processing is capable of reconstituting the input signal streams based on the retrieved sub-channel data only if the orthogonal characteristics of a set of WFs are preserved. Without the orthogonality among the WF, the signals in sub-channels are mixed and become effectively pseudo random noise. Therefore, an electronic locking mechanism in the preprocessing is implemented to make the WFs un-orthogonal among one another. Similarly, an electronic un-locking mechanism in the post-processing is implemented to restore the orthogonal characteristics among various WFs embedded in the sub-channel signals. Some of the phenomena due to the selected locking mechanisms are reproducible in nature, such as wave propagating effects, and other are distinctively man-made; such as switching sub-channel sequences. There are other conventional encryption techniques using public and private keys which can be applied in conjunction with the WF muxing and de-muxing processor, converting plain data streams into ciphered data streams which can be decoded back into the original plain data streams. An encryption algorithm along with a key is used in the encryption and decryption of data. As to the optional parallel to serial and serial to parallel conversions in the pre and post processing, respectively, we assume that transmissions with single carrier are more efficient than those with multiple carriers. We also assume single channel recording is more cost effective than multiple channel recording. However, there are occasions that continuous spectrum is hard to come-by. We may use fragmented spectrum for transmissions. There are techniques to convert wideband waveforms using continuous spectra into multiple fragmented sub-channels distributed on non-continuous frequency slots. Under these conditions we may replace the parallel to serial conversion processing by a frequency mapping processor.

The present invention provides optical compensation for a submarine optical cable optical. A dummy light module generates a dummy light signal according to a continuous spectrum in a predetermined range and a combining module combines a service signal with the dummy light signal. When the dummy light is used for the compensation, conventional problems are solved, including complicated control, difficult realization of the pre-equalization function and inflexible configuration. When service signals are increased, the adjustment for the power of the dummy light signal is avoided; therefore, the control for the dummy light is simplified. In the pre-equalization operation, power control is only performed on the dummy light signal in the single channel or the continuous dummy light signal; therefore, the realization of the pre-equalization function is easy.

The invention relates to a method and a device for amplifying a single crystal tunable broadband non-collinear femtosecond optical parameter. Light output from a pump source is divided into two beams by passing a glass piece GP: one beam of reflection light is focused after passing through a lens L1 onto a crystal S which generates a super-continuous spectrum, then is collimated by a collimating lens L2 and is incident to a non-linear crystal BBO by an all reflection mirror M2, so as to form a signal light which has an amplified optical parameter and is horizontally polarized; the other beam of transmission light passes through a lens L3, and is delayed to synchronize with the signal light by a delay device CC, and is incident to the non-linear crystal BBO, and then is converted to a pump light which is vertically polarized. The pump light and the signal light generate a type I phase matching non-collinear optical parametric amplification by the non-linear crystal BBO; at the same time, the signal light which satisfies the frequency multiplication phase matching angle and the non-collinear optical parametric amplification phase matching angle is amplified.
