Patent number: 12680954Abstract: Disclosed herein are a spectral sensing device and a method for measuring optical radiation. The optical radiation is provided by at least one measurement object and includes non-modulated optical radiation. The spectral sensing device includes at least one radiation emitting element; at least one photosensitive detector; and at least one evaluation unit. The spectral sensing device is arranged in a manner such that modulated optical radiation is guided within the spectral sensing device towards at least one photosensitive detector. The spectral sensing device and a method for measuring optical radiation are configured to perform, preferably in a fully automatized fashion, a self-calibration of the spectral sensing device without requiring any predefined reflection target.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2022Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: TRINAMIX GMBHInventors: Celal Mohan Oeguen, Thomas Hupfauer, Samiul Islam
