A miniaturized optical sensor for particulate matter detection

Abstract: We present an innovative optical particulate matter sensor. This optical sensor 'on-a-chip' combines a visible fibered light source and a custom-made CMOS image sensor chip. By illuminating a single particle in an air channel, we can record the light scattering signature on the photodiode matrix. A piece realized in 3D printing achieves fiber alignment and an efficient stray light protection. A specific scattering pattern occurs from the interaction of light with a single particle. Unlike traditional optical P… Show more

“…In order to properly record particle scattering signatures, a CMOS (or ’Complementary metal oxide semi-conductor’, which refers to the manufacturing technology) imager chip (referred to as the ‘holed retina’) has been developed and customized for our specific requirements [ 50 ] on the basis of the CreaPYX standard platform (by Pyxalis) [ 51 ]. The specificity of our design is to allow the formation of a fluidic channel through the chip.…”

“…The former is able to count and record a particle's scattering signature projected onto a holed CMOS image sensor (that is both a detector and a fluidic channel). More details are presented in reference [16] (same conference). Similar designs are also found in conference papers [17] [18] and in patent [19].…”
