The power switch with infrared proximity sensor is intended for the recognition of obstructions at distances of a few millimetres to a few centimetres. This compact sensor switch can be used to open a ...

From autonomous vehicles to optical testing, these sensors bring high performance infrared detection into real-world systems.

Oil and gas production and work in confined spaces exposes field personnel to a variety of toxic and explosive gases in everyday drilling, processing, transport, and municipal operations. Explosive ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...

Incorporating a remotely mounted infrared sensor head connected to a high-performance, microprocessor-based signal conditioner, the OS100E series of miniature infrared transmitters measure a ...

Phlux Technology, a manufacturer of avalanche photodiode (APD) infrared sensors, has announced that its patented Noiseless ...
