Dimensions and optical characteristic values for the transmitter and receiver elements are decisive for the performance of an optical sensor. The usual components are far from capable of fulfilling the requirements of miniaturized precision optical sensors. For this reason, we make our own extraordinary components.
Our LEDs form the cores of our optical sensors. For them, we use a selection of particularly high-performance semiconductor chips. Using the STM technology, we form them into components with extremely low opening angles (down to 1°) and unusually uniform intensity distributions while maintaining an extremely low manufacturing tolerance.
We use photodiodes for sensors with high limit frequencies due to their speed. They are placed directly on the control and analysis electronics board. Through our unique technology, we can insert nearly every available semiconductor chip without having to make adaptations. This enables optimum adaptation for every application.
Phototransistors are typically used in MICROmote sensors. Their speed is limited, but their raw signals can easily be transmitted over large distances before having to be amplified and reprocessed.
Sensor modules are combinations of LEDS with photodiodes in a single housing. They represent the basic functional components of diffusive reflective sensors. Our modules are high-performance optoelectronic units, which can quickly and easily be completed to form optical sensor solutions through addition of the right electrical control and analysis components.
The STM technology can be used for laser diodes, too. Thus, we can manufacture tiny laser modules with very small beam diameters with a residual divergence of 1.5 mrad. They are the ideal building blocks for forming miniature laser sensors.
