DEFINITION

Classification: 356/331

With monochromator structure:

(under subclass 300) Subject matter including a light dispersing element such as a prism or diffraction grating together with a slit for selecting a narrow portion of the dispersed spectrum to provide a light beam which is essentially monochromatic or of narrow frequency bandwidth.

(1) Note. Usually an entrance slit is provided between a source of light and the dispersing element, or a light source having a narrow beam width may be provided.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

51, for monochromators with optical limitations used in the infrared or ultraviolet range.

326+, for spectroscopes generally as where a viewing device is used for examining the light from the dispersing element either directly or through a test sample in place of an output slit. See also (1) Note under subclass 326.

420, for color light standards as where light filters rather than dispersing elements are combined with the light source.
