What is a Optical probe?

An optical probe is a sensor or measuring device that uses light to measure the characteristics of a target. By detecting light reflection, transmission, absorption, or scattering, it can analyze parameters such as position, speed, color, shape, surface conditions, and even chemical composition. Optical probes are non-contact, allowing for fast and accurate measurements without damaging the target. Common types include laser-based probes as well as those utilizing infrared or ultraviolet light. Optical probes are widely applied in quality control in manufacturing, precision measurement, material properties research, and diagnostic applications in the medical field.

Application of Optical probe

✅ Dimensional Measurement in Manufacturing Lines
Optical probes are used in production processes to measure the dimensions and shapes of products in real-time, ensuring defective items are removed promptly.
✅ Surface Roughness Inspection
Measures the roughness and smoothness of material surfaces, aiding in quality control.
✅ Chemical Analysis
Uses light of specific wavelengths to detect absorption spectra of substances for compositional analysis.
✅ Medical Diagnostics
Fiber optic probes measure tissue or blood conditions, enabling non-invasive diagnoses.
