G01J

MEASUREMENT OF INTENSITY, VELOCITY, SPECTRAL CONTENT, POLARISATION, PHASE OR PULSE CHARACTERISTICS OF INFRARED, VISIBLE OR ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT; COLORIMETRY; RADIATION PYROMETRY (light sources F21, H01J, H01K, H05B; investigating properties of materials by optical means G01N)

Description

G01J encompasses instruments and methods for measuring physical properties of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet wavelength ranges. The subclass covers intensity measurement, spectral analysis, polarization characteristics, phase determination, and temporal pulse properties of light, as well as colorimetric analysis and radiation pyrometry for non-contact temperature measurement. Applications include spectrophotometers, photometers, spectrographs, polarimeters, interferometers, and thermal imaging systems used in scientific research, manufacturing quality control, and materials characterization.
