Results for tag: "Spectral Sensor"

Spectral sensors are a type of optical sensor that measure the intensity of light across a range of wavelengths. They are used to detect and measure the presence of various substances in a sample, such as gases, liquids, and solids. Spectral sensors are used in a variety of industries, including medical, industrial, and environmental. Spectral sensors are typically composed of a light source, a detector, and an optical filter. The light source emits light of a specific wavelength, which is then filtered by the optical filter. The filtered light is then detected by the detector, which measures the intensity of the light. The intensity of the light is then used to determine the presence of a particular substance in the sample. Spectral sensors are used in a variety of applications, such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control. They are also used in the automotive industry for air quality monitoring and in the food industry for quality control. Some companies in the spectral sensor market include Ocean Optics, Hamamatsu Photonics, and Thorlabs. Show Less Read more
