ABSTRACT:
A sensor assembly for a glass-ceramic cooktop appliance having at least one burner assembly disposed under a glass-ceramic plate. The sensor assembly includes a waveguide having a first end disposed in the burner assembly and a second end disposed outside of the burner assembly, and at least one detector located adjacent to the waveguide's second end. A radiation collector is located adjacent to the first end of the waveguide so as to direct incident radiation into the waveguide. The radiation collector includes a plurality of reflective surfaces and a mechanism for adjusting the position of the reflective surfaces relative to one another in order to adjust the sensor assembly's field of view.
