  2. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    Conceptual through-beam system to detect unauthorized access to a secure door. If the beam is interrupted, the detector triggers an alarm. A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver.

  3. Electric eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eye

    Electric eye for a garage door opener. An electric eye is a photodetector used for detecting obstruction of a light beam. An example is the door safety system used on garage door openers that use a light transmitter and receiver at the bottom of the door to prevent closing if there is any obstruction in the way that breaks the light beam.

  4. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

    Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]

  5. Photonic integrated circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonic_integrated_circuit

    Unlike electronic integration where silicon is the dominant material, system photonic integrated circuits have been fabricated from a variety of material systems, including electro-optic crystals such as lithium niobate, silica on silicon, silicon on insulator, various polymers, and semiconductor materials which are used to make semiconductor lasers such as GaAs and InP.

  6. Photodetector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodetector

    The photodetector contains three photodiodes, visible in the photo (in center). Photodetectors , also called photosensors , are sensors of light or other electromagnetic radiation . [ 1 ] There are a wide variety of photodetectors which may be classified by mechanism of detection, such as photoelectric or photochemical effects, or by various ...

  7. Photoswitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoswitch

    Spiropyran and Merocyanine undergo ring opening/closing mechanisms upon photo irradiation. Diarylethene and donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts exhibit changes in color upon photoisomerization. Stilbene is a model photoswitch for studying photochemistry. A photochromic compound can change its configuration or structure upon irradiation with light.
