                                Claim 1 of Godil’s Patent No. 6,169,624 B1                                                               
                        5.      Claim 25 of Tomita’s involved application reads as follows:                                              
                                A reflective light processing element capable of modifying at least on                                   
                        characteristic of an optical beam, comprising:                                                                   
                                a plurality of wide reflective surfaces, the wide reflective surfaces being                              
                        substantially coplanar;                                                                                          
                                a plurality of narrow reflective surfaces, the narrow reflective surfaces                                
                        being substantially coplanar, the narrow reflective surfaces facing substantially a                              
                        same direction as the wide reflective surfaces, the narrow reflective surfaces                                   
                        alternatingly arranged with the wide reflective surfaces, the narrow reflective                                  
                        surfaces and the wide reflective surfaces defining a plurality of gaps between and                               
                        normal to the narrow reflective surfaces and the wide reflective surfaces; and                                   
                                a plurality of compensating reflective surfaces, the compensating reflective                             
                        surfaces being substantially coplanar, the compensating reflective surfaces facing                               
                        substantially the same direction as the narrow reflective surfaces and the wide                                  
                        reflective surfaces, the compensating reflective surfaces being positioned in each                               
                        gap between the narrow reflective surfaces and the wide reflective surfaces, each                                
                        compensating reflective surface being at least as wide as each gap;                                              
                                wherein the wide reflective surfaces are capable of a displacement in a                                  
                        direction normal to the narrow reflective surfaces and compensating reflective                                   
                        surfaces, the displacement of the wide reflective surfaces capable of modifying at                               
                        least one characteristic of the incident optical beam.
