Hamamatsu Presents Position-Detecting Computational Sensor
Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a new profile sensor with an embedded computing function. This sensor, S15366, is specifically designed to calculate signals from the incident light spot within its processing chip and output incident light position information. Since this new profile sensor can output the incident light positions as coordinate data, it needs no external controller for computing processing.
What's the usage?

DeleteDear Hamamatsu friends,
ReplyDeleteDid you check out the figure 5 (and others) of

Thank you for pointing that out. I'll check with the designer right away.

And I did ;-)
DeleteNing XIE realized her sensor without comparators, but with "Winner-take-it-all" circuitry on the columns and the rows. Her work was intended for a sun detector (satellite navigation) and realized extra-ordinary accuracies.
