Abstract: This device for determining wind speed comprises at least two laser sources emitting beams in different directions that are coplanar and such that each emission direction corresponds to a perpendicular emission direction. Each laser source is associated with focusing optics for focusing the emitted beam, a laser diode for receiving a reflected beam obtained after reflection by a particle present in the air of the corresponding emitted beam, a photodiode for transmitting an interference signal occurring between the emitted beam and the reflected beam, a processor for processing the obtained interference signals, and an optical cavity into which the reflected beam is reinjected in order to obtain an interference with the emitted beam.

Abstract: An analogue amplification device comprises a first stage with a common base or gate transistor that receives the modulated input current on its emitter or its source and the output signal of this first stage corresponds to the signal of the collector, a second stage formed by a follower amplifier comprising a transistor with a common collector or drain setup, a third stage that comprises a transistor with a common emitter setup, and a fourth stage that is an amplifying stage with means allowing the realization of, on the one hand, an amplification, and on the other hand, a matching of impedance. The device can be applied to a laser anemometer with optical retro-injection.
