Market-Trend Spectral Sensors: Prospects in Consumer Applications

With reductions in size and cost, spectral sensors have become a market trend technology not only for integration in industrial environments, but also for enabling new applications. The sensors’ accessibility allows new capabilities for innovation. Jensen introduces the current types of spectral sensor technologies available for consumer-based or consumer-near applications, and he demonstrates these technologies with examples. He examines a broad scope of applications ranging from UV wavelengths to VIS, NIR, and SWIR, and he also projects what future spectral sensing solutions could look like.
