The invention discloses an optical path system for measuring the forward and backward scattering and depolarization ratio of a single particulate matter. The optical path system comprises an incidentlight collimation and depolarization module, a laser calibration detection module, a single particle scattering module, a backward polarized light detection module, a forward scattered light measurement module and a light splitting lens, the incident light collimation and depolarization module, the light splitting lens, the single particle scattering module and the forward scattered light measurement module are sequentially installed, and the laser calibration detection module and the backward polarized light detection module are oppositely arranged on the opposite faces of the light splittinglens. The optical path system is simple in structure and high in stability, by establishing the reasonable combination of a collimating lens and a condensing lens, the optical path system is reasonably designed, and the optical path system is suitable for being widely applied to the pollutant monitoring of the monitoring stations, so that the detection level of the atmospheric pollutant physicalproperties is greatly improved.
