Functional principle

Identical to retro-reflective sensors, emitter and receiver circuitry are incorporated in the same housing of the diffuse mode sensors. However, diffuse mode sensors do not detect the interruption of the light beam 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. This type of sensor is especially suited for detection of transparent objects (diffuse mode sensor with or without background suppression or convergent mode sensors).
