Remote photoelectric sensors used for remote sensing contain only the optical components of a sensor.

Also, the controls for the sensor are more accessible, since they may be ...
One application is the use of a tympanometer (a specialised acoustic reflectometer) to diagnose medical conditions of the ear. [1] Ultrasonic reflectometry: A transducer generates acoustic waves at ultrasonic frequency which propagate until they reaches the interface between the propagation medium and the sample. The wave is partially reflected ...
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 ...
