  2. 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 ...

  3. Optoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectronics

    Electronic light sensors. Optoelectronics (or optronics) is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that find, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared, in addition to visible ...

  4. Electro-optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optics

    Electro–optics is a branch of electrical engineering, electronic engineering, materials science, and material physics involving components, electronic devices such as lasers, laser diodes, LEDs, waveguides, etc. which operate by the propagation and interaction of light with various tailored materials.

  5. Microoptoelectromechanical systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microoptoelectromechanical...

    Microoptoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS), also known as optical MEMS, are integrations of mechanical, optical, and electrical systems that involve sensing or manipulating optical signals at a very small size. MOEMS includes a wide variety of devices, for example optical switch, optical cross-connect, tunable VCSEL, microbolometers.

  6. Sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor

    Different types of light sensors. A sensor is a device that produces an output signal for the purpose of detecting a physical phenomenon.. In the broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor.

  7. Electrical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_engineering

    Computer engineering deals with the design of computers and computer systems. This may involve the design of new hardware. Computer engineers may also work on a system's software. However, the design of complex software systems is often the domain of software engineering, which is usually considered a separate discipline. [81]

    The LPGA Tour nearly had a major controversy on its hands when it came to trans inclusion in women’s sports. Hailey Davidson, a transgender women’s golfer, participated in Q School in hopes of ...

  9. Electrochromic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochromic_device

    An electrochromic device (ECD) controls optical properties such as optical transmission, absorption, reflectance and/or emittance in a continual but reversible manner on application of voltage (electrochromism). This property enables an ECD to be used for applications like smart glass, electrochromic mirrors, and electrochromic display devices.
