Abstract
A particle detection device includes a scattered light detector detecting an intensity of light scattered by a particle irradiated with a laser, an incandescent light detector detecting an intensity of incandescent light from the particle being irradiated with the laser, and a signal processor including: a first peak hold circuit holding a peak in the intensity of the light scattered by the particle; a second peak hold circuit holding a peak in the intensity of the incandescent light from the particle; and a threshold value comparison circuit comparing the peak in the first peak hold circuit to a threshold and, when the peak in the first peak hold circuit exceeds the threshold, outputs a reset signal to the second peak hold circuit immediately thereafter so the peak previously in the second peak hold circuit is reset immediately after the peak in the first peak hold circuit exceeds the threshold.
