OHR Sensor Activation

Just a question out of curiosity. I've noticed that if I place my finger on top of the optical HR sensor it activates it (green lights starts flashing). How is thing being done? It doesn't seem like it is gesture based, because it also works if the watch is lying upside down flat on my desk. Is there another part of the sensor that checks for some kind of signal? I assume this is always on and checking?
