Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A light source supplies light to an interferometer or polarimetric sensor and a beam divider divides the emerging light into two or more beam paths. Interference filters having different central wavelengths are provided in the beam paths and can be used to bring the two uncoupled interference signals into quadrature, e.g. by suitable adjustment of the tilting angle. In each beam path a, measuring device for quantitatively measuring the received light is disposed, and the data from the measuring devices are supplied to a data-processing device.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 14, 1997 and granted November 14, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 14, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 14, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
