Optical sensors are increasingly integrated with AI and ML algorithms to enhance their capabilities. This integration allows optical sensors to analyze and interpret data in real time, enabling more intelligent and context-aware applications. AI-powered optical sensors can process large datasets, identify patterns, and make decisions, improving accuracy and responsiveness. This trend is particularly relevant in applications such as image recognition, object tracking, and autonomous systems. Edge computing refers to processing data closer to the source rather than depending only on centralized cloud servers. Edge computing-capable optical sensors are used for quicker reaction times and more effective data processing. Integrating optical sensors and edge computing lessens dependence on remote cloud servers, improves real-time decision-making, and lowers latency in applications such as autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.

Integration of optical sensors with other sensing technologies, such as radar, ultrasound, and magnetic sensors, is becoming more common. This results in developing multimodal sensor systems that offer enhanced sensing capabilities, increased accuracy, and improved reliability. Multimodal sensor systems are well-suited for complex applications, including robotics, security, and healthcare. Combining different sensing modalities provides a more comprehensive understanding of the environment. Advances in photonics, the study, and application of light, contribute to innovations in optical sensor technology. Photonics enhances the performance of optical sensors, enabling faster data transmission, higher resolution imaging, and improved sensing capabilities. Photonics-driven innovations are particularly relevant in telecommunications, where optical sensors are crucial in developing high-speed communication networks. The improvements in photonics contribute to the overall efficiency of optical sensor applications.
