Particle detectors and methods for detecting particulate matter accumulated on a surface are provided. According to one aspect, the particle detector may comprise a substrate, an optical light source configured to emit light along a light path, a waveguide associated with the substrate, having a surface exposed to a gaseous environment and configured to accumulate on the surface particulate matter from the gaseous environment, a detector configured to receive the emitted light from the waveguide, and a controller configured to determine the intensity of the detected light and output an indication of an opacity of the surface of the waveguide with the accumulated particulate matter. |
