Improvements in or relating to transparency sensors

An improved transparency sensor (10) uses Brewster's Law to detect the presence of sheets of transparency material (20). The sensor (10) includes a light emitting diode (LED) (12) and two photodiodes (14, 16) arranged to receive light reflected from the material (20). The LED (12) supplies inci...

description	An improved transparency sensor (10) uses Brewster's Law to detect the presence of sheets of transparency material (20). The sensor (10) includes a light emitting diode (LED) (12) and two photodiodes (14, 16) arranged to receive light reflected from the material (20). The LED (12) supplies incident light at an angle ( theta ) which is related to the refractive index of the transparency material (20) to be detected. A polarizing filter (18) is associated with one of the photodetectors (16) and is oriented to cut out substantially reflected polarized light entering that photodiode (16). Output signals from the photodetectors (14, 16) are processed in a comparator (40) which provides an output signal (42) indicating the presence or not of a transparency material (20).
