Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Lasers, i.e. devices using stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible or ultraviolet wave range > characterised by the material used as the active medium > Solid materials

CPC:

Lasers, i.e. devices using stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared, visible or ultraviolet wave range (semiconductors lasers H01S5/00) > characterised by the material used as the active medium > Solid materials

CPC subdivides this area 12x more granularly than IPC with 11 additional codes.

11 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 1974.
