  • Patent number: 9744793
    Abstract: According to one aspect, the invention relates to an optical safety component having a plasmonic effect intended to be observed by transmission, including two layers (101, 103) made of a transparent dielectric material, a metal layer (102) that is arranged between said layers made of dielectric material to form two dielectric-metal interfaces (105, 106), and is structured to form on at least a portion thereof corrugations (104) that are capable of coupling surface plasmon modes supported by said dielectric-metal interfaces with an incident light wave. The corrugations are arranged in a first coupling area in a first main direction and in at least one second coupling area separate from said first coupling area, in a second main direction that is substantially perpendicular to said first main direction, said metal layer being continuous on each one of said coupling areas.

  • Patent number: 8345259
    Abstract: Disclosed is a Rotation sensor with a light source, a light detector, an internal part having a first lateral surface, which is globally cylindrical and convex, and an external part having a second lateral surface which is globally cylindrical and concave. The first and second lateral surfaces both have a same central axis defining a rotation axis for a relative rotation between the internal part and the external part the angle of which this rotation sensor can measure. A first grating is arranged at the first lateral surface with its grating lines parallel to the rotation axis, and a second grating is arranged at the second lateral surface with its grating lines parallel to said rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20040174536
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical device (2) for characterising a diffraction grating (14) which is formed by first and second interferometric diffractive sensors (4, 6) which are integral, spaced apart from each other at a determined first distance, and each comprise a reading grating (10a, 10b) and at least one light intensity detector, these first and second sensors providing respectively first and second electrical signals which, during a relative displacement (&Dgr;x) between the device and the diffraction grating, vary as a function of the spatial frequency of this grating in first and second regions of the latter, which regions are located respectively opposite two reading gratings and each receive light supplied by at least one light source. In particular, the first and second electrical signals define first and second phases of the first and second sensors.
