Study Notes
Optical Sensors Lecture
- The lecture focuses on different types of optical sensors and their applications.
Physical Parameters and Light Properties
- Physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, and vibration can be detected using the properties of light, including amplitude, phase, and polarization.
Amplitude Modulators
- Amplitude Modulators sensors are commonly referred to as Intensity Modulated Sensors.
Electric Field Amplitude and Intensity Modulated Sensors
- Electric field amplitude is directly related to intensity modulated sensors, as changes in amplitude affect the intensity of the light.
Television Analogy
- The lecture uses the example of a kid playing with a television to illustrate how an optical sensor can capture information about gestures.
Optical Fiber Sensors
- The primary aim of the lecture on Optical Fiber Sensors is to discuss their applications and types.
Sensor Purpose and Application
- The purpose of an optical sensor in the described application is to capture information about gestures.
- The optical sensor is used in an application involving gesture recognition.
Infrared Radiation and Sensor
- The infrared source in the application uses near-infrared radiation, which is different from visible radiation.
- The infrared sensor captures information about gestures by detecting changes in the scattered near-infrared radiation.
CCD Array and Scattering
- The main purpose of using a CCD array is to capture the scattered near-infrared radiation and create an image of the object.
- Scattering only a few dots from an object allows for the creation of a pattern of dots.
- The fine features of the pattern of dots allow for the recognition of gestures.
Gesture Recognition
- Gesture recognition involves the detection and interpretation of gestures using the captured information about the scattered near-infrared radiation.
