Optical Sensing Basics Conventional electrical sensors use transducers to convert physical phenomena into electrical signals, which can then be conditioned, digitized, and scaled to the expected ...

Optical solution One solution, being pursued by the EU-funded OFSETH project, is to use optical sensors and optical fibres.

Although many types of fiber optic sensors exist, one of the most commonly used is fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Bragg gratings are variations of the refractive index which are ‘written’ within the core ...

Where the original Theremin sensed hand proximity using two antenna-like capacitive sensors to control note frequency and volume, this design relies on two optical sensors to do the same job.

Both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a tetraprism lens system capable of up to 5x optical zoom. That's an improvement over last ...

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

Right now he’s experimenting with adding an optical mouse sensor to the autonomous vehicle. Recently we saw the same concept used, but it was meant for tracking movement of a full-sized automobile.

Verizon and NEC used new optical sensor technology developed by NEC and combined it with artificial intelligence-based software to create an “intelligent traffic monitoring including the measurement ...

The sensor that the researchers have developed is based on an optical phenomenon, plasmons, which occur when metal nanoparticles capture light and give the particles a distinct colour.
