IPC: H04J14/02

Abstract: A grating based optical wavelength demultiplexer that can be used for multiple
wavelength bands over a wide wavelength range is presented. The spectral response of
the device is cyclic. The free spectral range of the grating is designed to be large
enough to contain all the wavelength channels to be demultiplexed within a band but
small compared to the overall wavelength window of the network application so that a
multiplexed signal within any one of the wavelength bands within the application
window can be demultiplexed by the same device. This device, being bi-directional will
also operate as a multiplexer. By using such a cyclic design, an organization will not
need to stock different parts for each band and thus significantly reduce the inventory
cost. When the device is used in conjunction with a bandpass filter, it
functions as a demultiplexer for each wavelength band.

Abstract: A plurality of Group III nitride compound semiconductor layers are formed on a substrate for performing the formation of elements and the formation of electrodes. The Group III nitride compound semiconductor layers on parting lines are removed by etching or dicing due to a dicer so that only an electrode-forming layer on a side near the substrate remains or no Group III nitride compound semiconductor layer remains on the parting lines. A protective film is formed on the whole front surface. Separation grooves are formed in the front surface of the substrate by laser beam irradiation. The protective film is removed together with reaction products produced by the laser beam irradiation. The rear surface of the substrate 1s is polished to reduce the thickness of the substrate. Then, rear grooves corresponding to the latticed frame-shaped parting lines are formed in the rear surface of the substrate. The substrate is divided into individual elements along the parting lines.
