New Infrared Sensor Technology and The Modern Approach, 2003 European PLACE Conference Proceedings
This paper considers the development of Near-Infrared sensor technology with regards to measurement of
films and coatings different types).
New developments in Near-Infrared sensor technologies has led to an explosion in their use which has seen
a dramatic growth in the market share (by application) of this type of measurement. Much of this growth is
down to the development of the hardware and software to enable the measurement of previously difficult
and complex materials, whilst changing attitudes and philosophies have also contributed.
This paper aims to assess the different Near-Infrared sensor technologies available today as well as looking
at how this measurement principle fits with other sensors technologies.
