Dichroic filters, i.e. devices operating on the principle of wave interference to pass specific ranges of wavelengths while cancelling others

Introduced: January 2018

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Elements for modifying spectral properties, polarisation or intensity of the light emitted, e.g. filters > Dichroic filters, i.e. devices operating on the principle of wave interference to pass specific ranges of wavelengths while cancelling others

CPC:

Elements for modifying spectral properties, polarisation or intensity of the light emitted, e.g. filters (coloured shades F21V1/00; elements characterised by cooling arrangements F21V29/502) > Dichroic filters, i.e. devices operating on the principle of wave interference to pass specific ranges of wavelengths while cancelling others
