Title:
光センサ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011517362
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An optical sensor (600) for detecting the movement of an object relative to the position of the optical sensor (600), using self-mixing interference, is described. The optical sensor (600) comprises a laser (100), a detector (200) and a filter device (500). The filter device (500) suppresses measurement signals generated by means of the detector (200) when movements of the object at a velocity below a defined threshold value cause the measurement signals. The optical sensor (600) may be used in a switch in order to enable selective switching depending on the velocity of the movement of the object.
