The imaging lens includes, in order from the object side, a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having positive refractive power, and a third lens having negative refractive power. A representative multisegment photodetector includes a plurality of photodetector regions configured such that each of the plurality of photodetectors detects a portion of the plurality of optical signals exiting the end of the optical fiber and modifies the signal to reduce the affects of modal dispersion. This equipment mounting hardware includes a platform, a cargo box, bicycle mounting hardware, golf bag mounting hardware, a flexible cover, and other types of hardware. The method also includes forming a second hard mask pattern on the first hard mask pattern, and forming a second SNC plug between the second hard mask patterns.
