Abstract

According to various embodiments, there is provided a sensor arrangement including a filter configured to provide an output signal having an output wavelength, the output wavelength having a dependence on a temperature of the filter; a temperature module configured to change the temperature of the filter; a controller circuit configured to control the temperature module for changing the temperature of the filter until the output wavelength increases with decreasing temperature; and a determination circuit configured to determine a dew point of an environment surrounding the sensor arrangement, based on a minimum value of the output wavelength and the dependence.
