Optical Sensor Market

Market Overview

Optical sensor converts the light into electric signals. It measures physical quantity of light and converts light into form which can be interpreted by instrument. Optical sensor is connected to electrical trigger which can reacts as per change in signal. Optical sensor has ability to measure change in wavelength of light. Optical sensor works with either single point method or through distribution point method. In single point method single phase change is required to activate the sensor. In distribution point method, the sensor is reactive along a series of sensors. 

Optical sensors have been evolved significantly since its introduction during the last four decades. Technological advancement in last decade have resulted in development of optical sensors that have been developed to be suitable to work with a wide range of wavelength from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR).
