Abstract: The optical sensing device and the method thereof are for measuring a physical parameter. The device is to be connected to a light source which generates a multiple frequency light signal having predetermined spectral characteristics. The device comprises a Fabry-Perot interferometer through which the light signal is passed, an optical focusing device for focusing at least a portion of the light signal outgoing from the Fabry-Perot interferometer, and a Fizeau interferometer through which the focused light signal is passed. The Fabry-Perot interferometer includes two semi-reflecting mirrors substantially parallel to one another and spaced by a given distance so as to define a Fabry-Perot cavity having transmittance or reflectance properties which are affected by the physical parameter and which cause the spectral properties of the light signal to vary in response to the physical parameter.

Abstract: A printed circuit type of substrate (1) has a conductive film (2) on one face which is etched to constitute a first electrode (3) shaped as a printed circuit resistance between two connection tabs (4A, 4B) and a second electrode (5) having a connection tab (6), both electrodes are covered in a film of polymer and points (12) of the second electrode (6) are bared of polymer to put it into direct contact with a porous metal film covering the polymer film which serves as a dielectric between the said porous metal film and the first electrode (3).
