Structure or shape of the semiconductor body to guide the optical wave

Introduced: January 2000

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Semiconductor lasers > Structure or shape of the semiconductor body to guide the optical wave

CPC:

Semiconductor lasers (superluminescent diodes H10H20/00) > Structure or shape of the semiconductor body to guide the optical wave

CPC subdivides this area 4x more granularly than IPC with 5 additional codes.

5 codes are CPC-only extensions.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2000.
