Abstract
An optical sensing and control device includes a light source emitting a light beam and an optical component in communication with the light beam. The optical component is configured to move the light beam in a plane. The plane extends into an area such that the light beam interacts with particles in the area producing a scattering of the light beam. The optical sensing and control device also includes a photodetector in communication with the particles within the plane. The photodetector configured to generate image data in response to the scattering of the light beam.
