with respect to the optical fiber, progressively blocks the other beam from being projected toward the optical fiber from another direction and provides apodization to the formed gratings, so that an average refractive index variation is constant across the whole gratings.
In an apodized fiber grating fabricating apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention, a first UV laser emits a first UV laser beam toward an optical fiber from one direction and a second UV laser emits a second UV laser beam toward the optical fiber from an opposite direction. A phase mask forms gratings in the optical fiber in a predetermined period by reinforcement and interference of the first UV laser beam. A first blocking device, disposed between the first UV laser and the phase mask,The road at issue in this appeal runs between two parcels of real property owned by the parties and provides access for the Munozes to that part of their property on which the house in which they reside is located. The road also allegedly provides access to two additional parcels of real property, one of which is owned by the Burnetts and the other by the Munozes.
The ore tenus hearing primarily focused on evidence presented by the parties regarding their dispute over the width of the road. The Munozes contend that the road is 30 feet wide. The Burnetts contend that the road is actually only 15 feet wide and that the additional 15 feet claimed by the Munozes constitutes an encroachment on their property.
The record indicates that
