Abstract
The interferometer comprises an emitter arm (10) excited by a source (11) and a receiver arm (20) associated with a photodetector (21) united by an optical coupler (50) so as to form a reference arm (30) and a measurement arm (40) terminating in a sensor (41). The arms (30) and (40) are constituted by one and the same optical fiber whose diopter of its free end (31) acts as a partially transparent mirror for the reference optical wave. This end (31) is coupled to the sensor (41) which returns the measurement optical wave through said diopter. Application in particular in the measurement of temperatures, for example in turbo-machines or of fluctuations of flow density.
