    摘要: A signal-distributing device that includes an arrayed-waveguide-grating demultiplexer and at least one receiving module. Each receiving module includes a multimode interference coupler and two output waveguides, the multimode interference coupler being located between the arrayed-waveguide-grating demultiplexer and the two output waveguides. The multimode interference coupler is configured to distribute, to the two output waveguides, an optical signal delivered by the arrayed-waveguide-grating demultiplexer. Such a device allows wavelength shifts in the signal delivered by a set of one or more sensors, in particular Bragg grating reflectors inscribed in a given optical fibre, to be measured. It allows a wavelength shift to be measured with a high linearity and a signal-to-noise ratio.
