2. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

   A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. They are largely used in industrial manufacturing. There are three different useful types: opposed (through-beam), retro-reflective, and proximity-sensing (diffused).

3. Electro-optical sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optical_sensor

   An optical sensor converts light rays into electronic signals. It measures the physical quantity of light and then translates it into a form readable by an instrument. An optical sensor is generally part of a larger system that integrates a source of light, a measuring device, and the optical sensor. This is often connected to an electrical ...

4. Photodetector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodetector

   Responsivity: The output current divided by total light power falling upon the photodetector. Noise-equivalent power: The amount of light power needed to generate a signal comparable in size to the noise of the device. Detectivity: The square root of the detector area divided by the noise equivalent power.

5. Modulating retro-reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulating_retro-reflector

   This modulator consists of 75 periods of InGaAs wells surrounded by AlGaAs barriers. The device is grown on an n-type GaAs wafer and is capped by a p-type contact layer, thus forming a PIN diode. This device is a transmissive modulator designed to work at a wavelength of 980 nm, compatible with many good laser diode sources.

6. Presence sensing device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presence_Sensing_Device

   A presence sensing device (PSD) is a safety device for press brakes and similar metal-bending machines. The device operator often holds the sheet metal work-piece in one place while another portion of the piece is being formed in the die. If a foreign object is detected, the PSD immediately retracts the die or stops the motion of the ram.
