When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

1300-1650nm light source and photodetector integrated into one package SHIMOTSUKE-SHI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyoto Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yoshihisa Shinya, Headquarters: ...

Abstract—Reflective color sensing is typically realized through pho- todiodes with multiple illuminants or photodiodes coated with color filters containing a single illuminant. This paper presents the ...

The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

Proximity sensors are common enough in automation projects that we hardly give them a second thought — pick something with specs that match the job and move on. But they can be fussy to get adjusted ...

Offered as a direct form, fit and function for the Optek OPR5005 sensor, the 67070 reflective sensor detects the proximity or motion of diffuse reflective surfaces. The component combines a silicon ...

Capable of integrating infrared, visible light, or VSCEL sensing capabilities in a single package, the OPB608 series reflective sensors can detect objects at distances up to 2". Each component in the ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has recently developed a new reflective sensor named P13567-02CT. The sensor is designed to work with near-infrared/proximity types and is packaged in a compact size. It contains ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

Light sensors often use an infrared LED as a light source. Infrared LEDs have a greater intensity than LEDs that emit visible light. And when infrared photodiodes are used the sensors are relatively ...
