Introduced: January 1980

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: Measuring optical phase difference; Determining degree of coherence; Measuring optical wavelength

CPC: Measuring optical phase difference (devices or arrangements for controlling the phase of light beams G02F1/01); Determining degree of coherence; Measuring optical wavelength (spectrometry G01J3/00)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Measuring optical phase difference; Determining degree of coherence; Measuring optical wavelength

CPC:

Measuring optical phase difference (devices or arrangements for controlling the phase of light beams G02F1/01); Determining degree of coherence; Measuring optical wavelength (spectrometry G01J3/00)

CPC subdivides this area 3x more granularly than IPC with 3 additional codes.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.

Note: 3 CPC extensions are marked as secondary classification only.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
