Construction or shape of the optical resonator

Introduced: January 2000

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Semiconductor lasers > Construction or shape of the optical resonator

CPC:

Semiconductor lasers (superluminescent diodes H10H20/00) > Construction or shape of the optical resonator

CPC subdivides this area 4x more granularly than IPC with 13 additional codes.

13 codes are CPC-only extensions.

3 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2000.
