Abstract: The invention relates to a device for multichannel analog detection of a signal to be detected having a very good signal/noise ratio. It incorporates a modulator (53) producing a modulated signal S(P); means of synchronous attenuation (54) of variable phase .PHI. producing an attenuated modulated signal; a multipoint receiver (52) receiving the modulated-attenuated signal and producing for each point a primary analog signal; an integrator producing for each point a value V(P,.PHI.) resulting from the integration over N periods of the primary analog signal; means of reading, of digitizing and of storing the values V(P,.PHI.) for a given .PHI. value; a phase sequencer giving .PHI. the values .PHI..sub.0 +i2.pi./n successively where i is an integer varying from 1 to n; a digital processing unit making it possible to obtain data representative of S(P) from the values V(P,.PHI.). It is particularly well adapted to the detection of a luminous flux with an array of photodiodes.

Abstract: The device comprises a high speed oscilloscope on the screen of which is formed by scanning a light path representative of the amplitude variation as a function of the time of the signal to be processed. Each point of such path is transformed by an astigmatic optical system into a light segment of constant length projected with off-set on a strip of photodiodes so that each sensor element of the strip receives a light band of a heigth proportional to the ordinate of the corresponding point of the path. An electronic circuit reads the strip after a predetermined number of passages of the signal. The result is displayed on an oscilloscope and stored in a memory after analog-digital conversion.

Abstract: The method comprises measuring the heat transfer between a specimen of the substance in condensed phase and an ambient gas. The heat transfer is detected by measurement of the amplitude of the angular movement of a pencil of light which is directed substantially parallel to the surface of the specimen subjected to energization variable in time, and which passes through an area located close to said surface. The device comprises a specimen support and a monochromator.
