The sensor units as shown in Figure 8-3, comprise a lens, a filter tuned to the<br />

wavelength of the laser output and a photodiode placed at the back focal length<br />

of the lens with suitable amplification electronics. This photodiode then<br />

accepts light from the detection volume over a finite range of angles as shown<br />

in Figure 8-4.<br />
