Abstract: The invention describes a laser sensor module. The laser sensor module comprises at least a first laser (111) being adapted to emit a first measurement beam (111′) and at least a second laser (112) being adapted to emit a second measurement beam (112′). The laser sensor module further comprises an optical device (150) being arranged to redirect the first measurement beam (111′) and the second measurement beam (112′) such that the 5 first measurement beam (111′) and the second measurement beam enclose an angle between 45° and 135°. The laser sensor module comprises one detector (120) being adapted to determine at least a first self-mixing interference signal of a first optical wave within a first laser cavity of the first laser (111) and at least a second self-mixing interference signal of a second optical wave within a second laser cavity of the second laser (112). This configuration 10 enables determination of an average velocity of the particles despite of the fact that it is not possible to determine the components of the velocity vector. The introduced error by means of statistical variations is acceptable because the number of detected particles scales with the cubic root of the particle velocity. The invention further describes a particle sensor (100) comprising such a laser sensor module, a corresponding method and computer program 15 product. The invention enables a simple and low-cost particle sensor (100) for detecting small particles based on laser self-mixing interference.

Abstract: The invention describes a laser sensor module (100) for particle size detection. The laser sensor module (100) comprises at least one first laser (110), at least one first detector (120), at least one electrical driver (130) and at least one evaluator (140). The first laser (110) is adapted to emit first laser light in reaction to signals provided by the at least one driver (130). The at least one first detector (120) is adapted to determine a first self -mixing interference signal (30) of an optical wave within a first laser cavity of the first laser (110). The first self-mixing interference signal (30) is caused by first reflected laser light reentering the first laser cavity, the first reflected laser light being reflected by a particle receiving at least a part of the first laser light. The evaluator (140) is adapted to determine a size of the particle by determining a first relative distance between the particle and the first laser (110) by means of the first self-mixing interference signal (30) and by determining a first amplitude information by means of the first self-mixing interference signal (30). The invention is further related to a corresponding method of determining a particle size.

Abstract: The invention describes an illumination device (100) for illuminating a three dimensional arrangement (250) in an infrared wavelength spectrum. The illumination device (100) comprises at least a first group of laser devices (110) comprising at least one laser device (105) and at least a second group of laser devices (120) comprising at least one laser device (105). The first and the second group of laser devices (110, 120) are adapted to be operated independent with respect to each other. The first group of laser devices (110) is adapted to emit laser light with a first emission characteristic and the second group of laser devices (120) is adapted to emit laser light with a second emission characteristic different from the first emission characteristic. The invention further describes a distance detection device (150) and a camera system (300) comprising such an illumination device (100). The different emission characteristics may be used to compensate or take into account the depth of the three dimensional arrangement (250). Different parts of the three dimensional arrangement (250) may be illuminated by means of the first and second emission characteristic in different ways.

Abstract: The invention describes a laser sensor or laser sensor module (100) using self-mixing interference for particle density detection, a related method of particle density detection and a corresponding computer program product. The invention further relates to devices comprising such a laser sensor or laser sensor module. It is a basic idea of the present invention to detect particles by means of self-mixing interference signals and determine a corresponding particle density. In addition at least a first parameter related to at least one velocity component of a velocity vector of the particles is determined in order to correct the particle density if there is the relative movement between a detection volume and the particles. Such a relative movement may for example be related to a velocity of a fluid transporting the particles (e.g. wind speed). Furthermore, it is possible to determine at least one velocity component of the velocity of the particles based on the self-mixing interference signals.

Abstract: The invention describes a laser sensor module (100) which is adapted to detect or determine at least two different physical parameters by means of self-mixing interference by focusing a laser beam to different positions. Such a laser sensor module (100) may be used as an integrated sensor module, for example, in mobile devices (250). The laser sensor module (100) may be used as an input device and in addition as a sensor for detecting physical parameters in an environment of the mobile communication device (250). One physical parameter in the environment of the mobile communication device (250) may, for example, be the concentration of particles in the air (air pollution, smog . . . ). The invention further describes a related method and computer program product.
