    Abstract: A smoke detector includes a substrate, an optical detection module, a base and a top cover. The substrate has a ring shape region surrounding a central detection region, and a first block structure of the central detection region is protruded from the substrate and higher than an upper surface of the ring shape region. The optical detection module is disposed inside the central detection region. The base is disposed on the substrate and around the optical detection module. The base has a second block structure. The top cover is connected to the base. A lateral wall of the top cover is partly overlapped with the second block structure to form a guiding channel. The optical detection module analyzes variation of scattering parameters resulted from gaseous matter entering the top cover through the guiding channel for determining concentration of the gaseous matter.

    Abstract: There is provided an optical sensor including an SPAD pixel array, multiple counters and a processor. The multiple counters count photon events of the SPAD pixel array to output an event-based vision sensor (EVS) frame per EVS period. The processor determines an index state of each pixel of the SPAD pixel array by comparing a counting value of each pixel respectively at a predetermined number of checking points with two predetermined thresholds, and calculates an index change of the index state associated with each pixel between adjacent EVS frames. The processor further changes the EVS period and/or adds a count offset to the counting value of each pixel to improve sensitivity of the event-based vision sensor.
