Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...
