A light-scattering airborne particle counter with a new optical design having the optical sampling chamber outside the laser resonator is presented. This device can be used to measure the size distribution of particles from a diameter of 0.3 μm in a wide concentration range with high reliability and stability. Some results of the applications of the device in highly contaminated environments are reviewed.
