DEFINITION

Classification: 359/350

HAVING SIGNIFICANT INFRARED OR ULTRAVIOLET PROPERTY:

(under the class definition) Subject matter including structure which is specifically adapted, as by structure or composition, to function as an optical element in the infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) portion of the spectrum, or wherein an optical element is constructed or composed to extend its operation into the infrared or ultraviolet from the visible portion of the spectrum.

(1) Note. IR (0.7 micrometers to 1000 micrometers wavelength) according to Van Nostrand's Encyclopedia, 7th Edition

Meters: 7 X 10[supscrpt]-7[end supscrpt] m to .001 m

Centimeters: 7 X 10[supscrpt]-5[end supscrpt] cm to .1 cm

Millimeters: 7 X 10[supscrpt]-4[end supscrpt] mm to 1 mm

Micrometers: .7 micrometers to 1000

micrometers

Nanometers: 700 nm to 10[supscrpt]6[end supscrpt] nm Angstroms: 7000 A to 10[supscrpt]7[end supscrpt] A

UV (100 Angstroms to 4000 Angstroms wavelength) according to Van Nostrand's Encyclopedia, 7th Edition

Meters: 10[supscrpt]-8[end supscrpt] m to 4 X 10[supscrpt]-7[end supscrpt] m

Centimeters: 10[supscrpt]-6[end supscrpt] cm to 4 X 10[supscrpt]-5[end supscrpt] cm

Millimeters: 10[supscrpt]-5[end supscrpt] mm to 4 X 10[supscrpt]-4[end supscrpt] mm

Micrometers: .01 micrometers to .4

micrometers

Nanometers: 10 nm to 400 nm

Angstroms: 100 A to 4000 A

Metric Conversion Units:

Centimeters = 10[supscrpt]-2[end supscrpt] meters Millimeters = 10[supscrpt]-3[end supscrpt] meters

Micrometers = 10[supscrpt]-6[end supscrpt] meters

Nanometers = 10[supscrpt]-9[end supscrpt] meters

Angstroms = 10[supscrpt]-10[end supscrpt] meters

(2) Note. Holos:graphic systems and modulators of Class 359 and fibers or waveguides of Class 385 that operate in the IR or UV portion of the spectrum are excluded from this and the indented subclasses.

(3) Note. This subclass and those indented thereunder are limited to elements which operate as optical elements in the infrared and ultraviolet portion of the spectrum but a detector to convert IR/UV energy to visible light is classified in Class 250.

(4) Note. "Heat Filters" are considered infrared filters.
