Our reviewing court has determined the term “substantially uniform
thickness,” meant “of largely or approximately uniform thickness.” CordisCorp. v. Medtronic AVE, Inc., 339 F.3d 1352, 1361 (Fed.Cir.2003). Although this interpretation is similar to the Examiner’s construction, we are
not persuaded that Sharp discloses the substantially the same limitation.
We specifically determine that the predicate for the Examiner’s
determination is that Sharp discloses that the photorefractive crystal is
“slightly larger” than the “where the optical beam enters the photorefractive
crystal.” We agree with the Appellant that Sharp discloses that the
photorefractive crystal is in fact substantially larger than the point where the
input radiation enters the photorefractive crystal. See Appeal Br. 12.
Indeed, based on Sharp’s Figure 1, the optical beam has virtually no cross
section.
