Abstract:
This system comprises at least one optical sensor (C1, C2, C3) comprising two Bragg gratings (B11, B12; B21, B22; B31, B32) written in two optical waveguides and having sensitivities adjusted so that the respective spectra of the two gratings have a relative spectral shift which depends on the parameter or parameters to be measured. The system also comprises an optical source (6) provided in order to supply light to the two optical waveguides so as to interrogate the latter, means enabling the light to pass successively through the two Bragg gratings of the same sensor, photodetectors in order to measure, on the one hand, the power level of light (R1) having passed only through one of the two optical waveguides and, on the other hand, the power level of light (Rnull1) having passed successively through the two optical waveguides, and means to process these power levels and supply the values of the parameter or parameters measured. The invention is applicable in particular to measurements of temperatures, stresses and pressures.
