Abstract From the Canadian patent

A wavelength-variable light source apparatus having a wavelength measurement function for measuring the wavelength characteristic of an object to be measured. In the apparatus a CPU outputs control signals for controlling components of a light power meter section via a bus for controlling a light detection operation. When the CPU obtains light detection level data detected by the light power meter section from light passing through an object to be measured, the CPU stores the light detection level data for each wavelength in the object to be measured in an RAM and causes a display control section to display the light detection level on a display section. Further the CPU, executes wavelength …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed January 29, 1999 and granted December 25, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 29, 2019.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 29, 2021.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
