The invention relates to a process making it possible to produce a drawn object having a chiralic structure. This production process consists of subjecting the object to torsion during its drawing and simultaneously to hardening making it possible to fix part of the thus obtained torsional stresses in the structure.

The invention relates to a process and device for measuring the optical core - mechanical sheath concentricity and the optical core ellipticity of an optical fibre. The process consists of injecting a light beam into a fibre, which has been previously bared at one of its ends. The analysis of the near field of this fibre by a detector performing a relative rotary movement with respect to said fibre provides details on the core - sheath concentricity and the core ellipticity, by carrying out a narrow band detection at the rotational frequency and at double its frequency.

The invention relates to a monomodal optical fibre hydrophone operating by elastooptical effect, which has an interferometer structure comprising a measuring arm, in which is arranged a very long monomodal optical fibre immersed in the interaction medium in which propagates the soundwave. A phase displacement is induced by an elastooptical effect on the soundwave propagating in the fibre, by a soundwave producing an acoustic pressure field in said medium. A reference arm establishes a reference optical path and the phase displacement, linked with the sound wave, is detected by interferometry between the two optical waves coming from these two arms. This two-armed interferometer is terminated by a photorefractive medium used as an interactive reflector in accordance with the four-wave interferometry principle.

The invention relates to electro-optical media which make it possible to record holograms in real time. It consists in using a lamina of a selected material such as bismuth-silicon oxide, this lamina being subjected to a transverse electric field perpendicular to the fringes of the hologram to be inscribed, and in illuminating this lamina with a light beam which is not coherent with the two object and reference beams which interfere within this lamina.

A method of coiling an optical fiber gyroscope and an optical fiber coil thus obtained, which method consists in coiling, on a cylindrical support comprising a central channel, a first layer for forming a helical optical fiber winding with constant pitch, passing the optical fiber through the central channel in the form of a single turn and coiling additional layers, in the same direction as the first layer, using the interturn spaces of the underlying layers.

The discriminating device comprises an optical coupler (4) having at least three ends (5 to 8) to which are connected a semiconductor source of light (1) whose intensity is modulated, a semiconductor photoconductor (2) and an optical probe constituted by a multi-mode optical fibre (3) whose end has a pointed shape. This discriminating device is in particular applicable in a device for measuring the voluminal fraction of at least one fluid of a current of non-mixible fluids.
摘要:
The device for measuring a nonreciprocal phase shift involves phase modulation of countercirculating waves in a closed-loop interferometer by means of a reciprocal-effect phase modulator. The modulating signal is a periodic signal having a period 2t.sub.o, where t.sub.o is the transit time of an electromagnetic wave in the closed loop. A digital phase ramp generated in the form of a stair-step signal is combined with the phase-modulating signals and applied as feedback. In an additional embodiment, control circuits are provided for correcting the modulation scale factor.
