G11B 7/126 Circuits, methods or arrangements for laser control or stabilisation
Introduced: January 2012
Full Title
Full titles differ between systems:
Recording or reproducing by optical means, e.g. recording using a thermal beam of optical radiation, reproducing using an optical beam at lower power; Record carriers therefor > Heads, e.g. forming of the optical beam spot or modulation of the optical beam > Optical beam sources therefor, e.g. laser control circuitry specially adapted for optical storage devices; Modulators, e.g. means for controlling the size or intensity of optical spots or optical traces > Circuits, methods or arrangements for laser control or stabilisation
Recording or reproducing by optical means, e.g. recording using a thermal beam of optical radiation , reproducing using an optical beam at lower power ; Record carriers therefor (G11B11/00, G11B13/00 take precedence) > Heads, e.g. forming of the optical beam spot or modulation of the optical beam (disposition or mounting of head elements within housing or with provision for moving of light source, optical beam or detector, irrelevant to the transducing method G11B7/08 ) > Optical beam sources therefor, e.g. laser control circuitry specially adapted for optical storage devices; Modulators, e.g. means for controlling the size or intensity of optical spots or optical traces > Circuits, methods or arrangements for laser control or stabilisation
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.
IPC defines codes here since 2012.
