Functional principle

Diffuse mode sensors incorporate the emitter and receiver in a single housing. However, diffuse mode sensors do not detect the interruption of the light beam like opposed mode sensors, but the reflection of the target. A target is detected if it reflects a sufficient amount of light back to the receiver. The switching distance of diffuse mode sensors thus largely depends on the reflectivity of the target.
