Abstract: ADAPTIVE INTENSITY-BASED AND SECTOR-LOCALIZED INERTIAL CLEANING SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL SURFACE CONTAMINATION The present invention discloses an adaptive intensity-based and sector-localized inertial cleaning system for optical surface contamination (20) configured for automated detection and removal of contaminants from exposed optical surfaces in imaging devices. The system (20) comprises a spray nozzle (1), an upper housing (2), a lower housing (16), a protective optical lens (11), a plurality of solenoid actuators (3, 5, 7, 9), near-infrared optical transmitters (4, 10), optical receivers (6, 8), a solenoid actuator assembly (12), a near-infrared transmitter module (13), a near-infrared receiver module (14), and a solvent delivery tube (15). The near-infrared transmitters (4, 10) emit radiation toward the protective optical lens (11) at a grazing incidence angle, while the optical receivers (6, 8) detect variations in reflected or scattered radiation caused by contaminants present on the optical surface.
