Aimed at applications such as heart-rate monitoring, pulse oximetry and proximity sensing, Osram's SFH 7050 BioMon sensor is now available from Mouser stock. The device is the company's first integrated optical sensor for automatic fitness tracking. It includes three LEDs of different wavelengths, which are based on high-efficiency chip technology. The measurement starts or stops automatically when the sensor touches skin or is removed from the skin. This BioMon sensor includes a light barrier to block optical crosstalk. The multi-chip package includes the three emitters and a detector.
