Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A laser module comprises a Fabry-Perot cavity active element with a facet bearing an anti-reflection coating and an external cavity made by an optical fibre Bragg grating with low reflectivity. This grating presents a non-uniform profile of modulation of the refractive index, asymmetrical in the direction of the grating length such as to give rise to a position of the equivalent mirror plane that is offset towards the end of the grating that is closer to the active element.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 9, 1999 and granted December 4, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 9, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 9, 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.
