Subcategory: 13.2 · Detection & Coherent Radiation Eq

Notes

This class includes, and is restricted to, devices the operation of which is based on principles involving the stimulated emission of radiation, and to associated components and accessories directly related to stimulated coherent radiation techniques. The methods for producing the radiation are those obtained by LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and by MASER (Microwave and/or Molecular Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) techniques. Only those items specifically designed for stimulated coherent radiation applications, and having no other application, are to be included in this class. Assemblies or major systems containing such devices are excluded from this class.
