A laser phase Doppler dust particle monitoring method and apparatus belongs to particle measuring technique. It includes the steps that two beams of coherent incident light has concourse and irradiate normally to flowing direction of dust particle current; two sensors are installed with symmetry, optical signal of particle scattering received by which has the same frequency but different phase, its frequency is proportional to flight velocity of particle and phase difference is proportional to with diameter of particle, by using processor to extract frequency and phase difference of signal, the diameter, velocity and other information of particle are obtained. The apparatus consists of detecting system containing laser source, polarizer, beam splitter, objective lens and APD sensor and processing system containing signal preprocessor, high speed synchronous A / D converter, wavelet processor, parameter processor and data fractional, synchronous controller. The invention has the advantages including high accuracy and reliability of parameter measurement like velocity and diameter of dust particle, wide measuring range and excellent applicability.
