Abstract: The invention relates a power fiber laser system including at least one single-mode fiber laser, emitting at a signal wavelength, the fiber including at least one outer cladding and a core, in which the core of the fiber has a radially graded index. The fiber includes, at least over a part of its length, a geometrical section having a graded fiber-core radius that decreases between an input end of the section and an output end of the section, the core radius and the index variation between the cladding and the fiber at the input end being such that the normalized frequency at the signal wavelength is less than the normalized cutoff frequency at which the fiber becomes unimodal.

Abstract: A mirror for optical imaging includes a reflecting device having a reflective face. The reflecting device incorporates a light-emitting device of which one emitting end is situated in said reflective face in a zone which is not or not very reflective.

Abstract: The invention is directed to multispectral multifield optical combinations that are intended to be integrated into an optical device. A Cassegrain-type multifield optical combination has an image focal plane, comprising a first holed concave primary mirror that is fixed relative to the image focal plane and a convex secondary mirror.

Abstract: In a system for the protection of cameras against countermeasures using, in particular, laser rays to saturate the sensors of the detector of the camera, each of the usual integration circuits connected respectively to the n sensors is preceded by an intermediate integration circuit, the contents of which are transferred into the usual integrated circuit at a rate higher than that used for the transfer of the contents of the usual integration circuit; the contents of the intermediate integration circuit are measured; the transfer of these contents is prevented when their value is excessively high. Application to detector-fitted cameras working in the infra-red, visible or ultra-violet ranges.
