Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors:“Optical sensors convert light into electric signals. An optical sensor detects light and then translatesit into a form that is readable by an instrument. An o ptical sensor is generally part of a larger systemthat integrates an optical so urce, a measuring device and the optical detector. These components areoften co nnected to an electrical trigger. Optical sensors are used in a variety of appli cations, includingin ambient light sensing, biomedical sensing, liquid level in dicators, telecom and datacom, smartphones,imaging devices and solar cells, amo ng others.”
