Abstract
A sensor device for optically detecting characteristics of a fluid. The device includes a housing with a base portion from which first and second appendages extend at least partially facing one another, and between which in use a fluid is present, and first and second optoelectronic devices adapted to transmit and receive radiation, respectively, mounted at the first and second appendages of the housing, respectively. The arrangement is such that in use a radiation beam transmitted by the first optoelectronic device propagates in an optical path which includes a portion crossing the fluid between said appendages and reaches the second optoelectronic device. This optical path includes at least one reflecting surface made integrally in an appendage of the housing and adapted to deflect the radiation beam between the associated optoelectronic device and the fluid crossing portion.
