They consist of a transmitter and receiver that communicate via invisible light beams. These light beams create a protective field. If breached, they’ll send a stop signal to the machine safety controls. The light beams also pulse at a specific frequency. OSSDs send stop signals to the machine controls.

What you carve into the mask looks nothing like the target image, but you wind up with something recognisable thanks to all the tiny phase cancellations that result from light beams diffracting and scattering off the edges of the shapes. In practice, there is no single image that is the inverse of the target shape.
