The detection arrangement comprises a light detector arranged to detect the change in the propagating light. A compact and robust incoupling site (5B) is defined by a sheet-like micro-structured surface portion (22) which is fixedly arranged on one of the top and bottom surfaces (4, 5) and configured to transmit light having an angle of incidence that enables light propagation by TIR inside the panel (1).

The filter (20) is applied to an outcoupling region on at least one of the front and rear surfaces (5, 6) and is configured to transmit light only within a confined range of angles with respect to the normal of the outcoupling region. The confined range extends from a lower angle limit θ min to an upper angle limit θ max . The lower angle limit θ min is equal to or larger than a critical angle θ C , which is given by θ C = arcsin (1/n panel ), with n panel being the refractive index of the light transmissive panel (1) at the outcoupling region.
