Global Optical Sensor Market

Optical Sensor Market Overview

Optical Sensor is designed to measure the visible quantity of light and convert it into the signal that can be readable by integrated electronic instruments. Optical sensor can measure the fluctuations between more than one light beams. It can work by two types of methods; one is single point method and another through a distribution of points. Based on its placement in device, there are two types of optical sensor: Extrinsic and Intrinsic.

Major Optical Sensor Market Drivers

Optical sensor is majorly applied in various sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial, Medical and Manufacturing etc. The major driving factors of this market are flexibility, higher sensitivity, wide dynamic range, selectivity and multiplexing capabilities. Optical Sensor can resist high temperature and hostile environment and its light weight and micro size is ideal for surface mounting and embedding and ideal for adopting any industries. The basic measurands of optical sensor are: temperature, vibration, flow, pH, humidity, rotation, displacement, radiation, velocity etc. The disadvantage of optical sensor is interference from multiple effects and its measured pressure may be vary for highly temperature sensitivity. Optical sensors effectively work by maintaining their sensitivity in the current type of application. It is highly preferred in biological and chemical applications because of its remote and multimodal detection. Ambient Light Sensor is the most common sensor used in smart phones to optimize environment by easy-to-view displays. Optical sensors are majorly used in xerox machine, computers, light fixtures, alarm systems etc. Optical Heart Rate Monitor is another example of its application in biomedical field. Fragility of optical fibre is one of the restraints in this market.
