We put forward and demonstrate with model particles a smart laser-diffraction analysis technique aimed at particle mixture identification. We retrieve information about the size, shape, and ratio concentration of two-component heterogeneous model particle mixtures with an accuracy above 92%. We verify the method by detecting arrays of randomly located model particles with different shapes generated with a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). In contrast to commonly-used laser diffraction schemes…
