Smoke detection in air

Introduction

Smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Commercial smoke detectors issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system. Household smoke detectors, also known as smoke alarms, generally issue an audible or visual alarm from the detector itself or several detectors if there are multiple devices interlinked [1].

Experiment

We can divide this experimental setup into two parts: the first part will detect the scattering light in the air, and the second part will amplify such signal.
