Abstract

See full text

A structure and a method provide a quasi bright field particle sensor, using a laser beam of predetermined polarization. A phase shift caused by a particle passing through a laser beam is utilized to detect the presence of a particle. In one embodiment, the laser beam is split into two components of laser beams of orthogonal polarization separated by a predetermined distance, so as to allow detection of both spherical and non-spherical particles. In another embodiment, where only non-spherical particles are detected, a single laser beam is used.
