    专利说明:

    The invention relates to the general field of passive sonars of the type comprising an all-optical submarine acoustic receiving antenna. The invention relates more particularly to such a sonar comprising an all-optical acoustic linear antenna. An acoustic linear antenna is conventionally made in the form of an elongate object of small diameter with respect to its length integrating several acoustic sensors. This type of antenna is also called flute. Such an antenna is intended to be towed by a marine vessel or connected to a land station by means of a towing cable of great length (may exceed 1km and reach a few tens of km).
    A passive sonar further comprises a power unit, for generating energy for powering the sensors and a processing unit for processing the measurements from the various sensors to detect and possibly identify and locate objects. The feeding unit and the treatment unit are deported aboard the marine vessel or on a land station. A connection is provided between the acoustic antenna and the power supply unit as well as the processing unit. When this link is a link comprising only one or more optical fibers, it is an all-optical acoustic antenna. In other words, the links used for the transmission of the power supply from the power supply unit to the antenna and for the transmission of information from the sensors to the processing unit are optical fibers. . These solutions have a small footprint, are cheap and light. They are insensitive to electromagnetic disturbances. Thanks to the low energy attenuation in the optical fibers, they make it possible to read the measurements made by the sensors several kilometers away, without any source of electrical energy being connected to the sensors.
    The all optical acoustic antennas comprise a plurality of optical fiber hydrophones acting on respective sensitive areas of one or more optical fibers. By optical fiber hydrophone is meant a hydrophone comprising an optical fiber which delivers a measurement signal which is an optical signal. This optical signal is conveyed by an optical fiber. A measurable physical property of this optical signal is representative of the acoustic pressure to which the hydrophone is subjected.
    Hydrophones are acoustic sensors designed to measure an acoustic pressure also called dynamic pressure, ie fast variations of low pressure. The sound pressure measured by a hydrophone is typically between 30 and 200 dB reference 1pPa and varies at frequencies between 1 Hz and 100 kHz.
    When the acoustic sensors are immersed in water they are also subjected to the hydrostatic pressure also called static pressure which increases approximately 10,000 Pa per meter of water. The hydrophones being used in depth, the hydrostatic pressure experienced by a hydrophone is typically greater than 10,000 Pa. In order to make it possible to measure the acoustic pressure, the hydrophones filter the hydrostatic pressure, for example by means of an integrated mechanical high pass filter. or reported electric type. In other words, in order to avoid saturation phenomena and to allow acoustic pressure to be measured, the acoustic sensors do not make it possible to measure the hydrostatic pressure, that is to say a pressure at least equal to 10 000 Pa, otherwise they would not allow to measure the sound pressure, the difference in amplitude between the acoustic pressure and the static pressure being of the order of 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 Pa.
    The purpose of passive sonars is to detect and locate objects in the water. This goal is achieved by means of the acoustic receiving antenna but the location of the objects requires integrating into the acoustic antenna, one or more additional non-acoustic sensors such as, for example, less a heading sensor, at least one accelerometer, at least one temperature sensor and / or at least one static (or immersion) pressure sensor. The measurements from these sensors are used for the detection and / or location of objects in the water. By non-acoustic sensor means a sensor configured to measure one or more physical quantities, each measured physical quantity being a measurement other than an acoustic pressure.
    Some of these sensors exist as fiber optic sensors. Such sensors deliver an optical signal representative of the quantity to be measured, said optical signal being conveyed by an optical fiber. For example, there are fiber optic temperature sensors and optical fiber static sensors. Their integration into the flute is then easy. However, some non-acoustic sensors, such as heading sensors, only exist as electrical output sensors. By electrical output sensor is meant a sensor whose sensitive element delivers an electrical signal, such as a voltage or an intensity, representative of a measured physical quantity. The integration of this type of sensor into an all-optical measuring system and in particular its integration into a flute-type acoustic antenna is then complex.
    An object of the invention is to propose a solution for integrating a non-acoustic sensor with an electrical output in an all-optical measuring system.
    The patent application US Pat. No. 5,784,337 describes a solution for integrating a non-acoustic sensor with an electrical output into an acoustic linear antenna. It consists in coupling the non-acoustic sensor to the same electrical data transmission line as that by which the information coming from the hydrophones is reassembled by performing a time division multiplexing. This coupling is achieved by means of an electronic module powered by this same line. However, this solution is unsuitable for integration into an all-optical measurement system since it involves the installation of a dedicated electrical line for the return of information from non-acoustic sensors, which is contrary to the objectives of limiting the cost. weight, bulk and low energy consumption of the measuring system. Moreover, when it is desired to remotely read remotely a low power electrical signal generated by an electrical output sensor, it must be at least electrically preamplified and if necessary digitized closer to the sensor if the we do not want to degrade the noise level of the sensor which implies additional energy consumption.
    Another solution for reading a long distance electrical signal delivered by an electrical sensor, described in the thesis "Opto-power and data transmission by optical fiber for sea-bottom observatories" Frédéric Audo, is to use a source of light energy, for example of the laser or light emitting diode type. This source of light energy is disposed near the sensor and coupled to the sensor so as to generate an optical signal modulated in intensity or in phase as a function of the electrical signal delivered by the sensor. This optical energy source is coupled to an optical feedback fiber which provides the function of transporting the optical signal to a processing device. However, this solution is incompatible with integration into an all-optical linear underwater acoustic antenna. Indeed, the integration of an optical source in the acoustic antenna requires transmitting a significant pump energy in the optical fiber extending between the towing vessel (or land station) and the acoustic antenna (or measured). However, in applications of the all-optical underwater acoustic linear antenna type, the pump power transmitted through an optical fiber current between the processing device and the acoustic antenna over a distance of up to a few tens of hours. km must be minimized in order to remain compatible with the acoustic measurement (this power must not exceed 1 to 2 W. In this type of application, monomode fibers in which nonlinear effects can appear from These nonlinear effects disturb hydrophone-induced optical signal variations, and high-power lasers that generate significant pump energy in the order of 5W are Raman-effect lasers that have noise levels too high for acoustic applications High powers do not allow the use of co cheap standard optical nectors which resist these powers for a short time.
    Another object of the invention is to overcome at least one of the aforementioned drawbacks. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a non-acoustic measurement unit intended to be integrated into an all-optical acoustic antenna, said non-acoustic measurement unit comprising a portion of an optical fiber, called non-acoustic fiber, intended to convey measurements. non-acoustic, at least one non-acoustic sensor with electrical output capable of delivering at least one electrical signal representative of at least one physical quantity, and a passive electro-optical transducer subjected to said electrical signal, said passive electro-optical transducer acting on a mechanical stress experienced by a first sensitive area of the optical fiber portion, such that a value of a measurable property of a first optical signal conveyed by the non-acoustic optical fiber is representative of the electrical signal, and at least one cell photovoltaic device electrically coupled to said non-acoustic sensor for electrically powering said AC pteur. The unit of measure advantageously further comprises at least one of the following characteristics taken alone or in combination: the photovoltaic cell is coupled to the acoustic optical fiber so as to be supplied with light energy by means of a pump residue derived from the electro-optical transducer, the passive electro-optical transducer is a piezoelectric transducer, - the electrical signal is a digital signal, - the sensor is capable of delivering measurements relating to several physical quantities, the electrical signal being a digital frame in the measurements relating to the different physical quantities are time multiplexed, - at least one non-acoustic sensor with electrical output is a heading sensor. The invention also relates to a measuring device intended to be integrated in a sonar, comprising: - at least one measurement unit according to any one of the preceding claims and the non-acoustic optical fiber, - at least one optical fiber, so-called acoustic, intended to convey acoustic measurements, - at least one optical fiber hydrophone acting on the mechanical stress experienced by a sensitive area of the acoustic optical fiber so that a value of the measurable property of a second optical signal, conveyed by the acoustic optical fiber, is representative of the acoustic pressure measured by said optical fiber hydrophone, - a main optical fiber optically coupled to acoustic optical fiber and the non-acoustic optical fiber so that the main optical fiber conveys said first signal optical signal and said second optical signal, said first optical signal and said second optical signal. ue being multiplexed along the main optical fiber.
    The device advantageously comprises at least one of the following characteristics taken alone or in combination: the sensitive areas of the acoustic optical fiber and the non-acoustic optical fiber are fiber laser cavities, the measurable property being the wavelength , the first optical signal and the second optical signal being emitted by the sensitive area of the non-acoustic optical fiber and respectively by the sensitive area of the acoustic optical fiber, said sensitive areas being configured so that the wavelengths of the first signal optical and said second optical signal have different values; at least one so-called feeder optical fiber, the photovoltaic cell being coupled to the optical supply fiber so that the photovoltaic cell is supplied with electrical energy by means of an energy conveyed by the acoustic optical fiber, least one optical supply fiber is the non-acoustic optical fiber on which the transducer acts; at least one so-called feeder optical fiber, in which at least one photovoltaic cell of at least one measurement unit is coupled to at least one optical fiber that is distinct from an acoustic optical fiber and non-acoustic optical fiber, at least one non-acoustic optical fiber is an acoustic optical fiber. The invention also relates to a measurement system comprising a demultiplexing device comprising at least one optical demultiplexer connected to the main optical fiber receiving said first signal and said second signal and making it possible to isolate the first optical signal and said second optical signal. . Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the detailed description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 schematically represents an example of a sonar comprising a all-optical acoustic linear antenna towed by a ship, - Figure 2 schematically represents a first example of a sonar measuring system according to the invention, - Figure 3 schematically shows a second example of a measurement system of a sonar according to the invention. From one figure to another, the same elements are identified by the same references.
    As shown schematically in Figure 1, the invention relates to a sonar. The sonar typically comprises a measuring device comprising an acoustic linear antenna 2, an optical source and a reader / receiver. This antenna 2 is towed by a marine vessel 80 such as a ship, by means of a traction cable 81. This antenna 2 comprises at least one hydrophone and at least one non-acoustic measurement unit. The hydrophones and the non-acoustic measurement unit 5 make it possible to deliver acoustic measurements and respectively non-acoustic measurements in the form of optical signals conveyed by means of a main optical fiber 14 from the acoustic antenna 2 to a reader / receiver 7. The main optical fiber 14 comprises a first end connected to the acoustic reception antenna and a second end connected to at least one optical source S and a reader / receiver 7. The reader / receiver 7 makes it possible to discriminate the measurements acoustic and non-acoustic signals from the vehicular signals by the main optical fiber 14. The optical source S makes it possible to generate an optical signal, said optical excitation signal, which may be a pump energy. The optical source S is coupled to the main optical fiber 14 intended to convey said optical excitation signal to the antenna 2. The sonar also comprises a processing unit 8 comprising at least one computer configured to detect and, preferably, , for identifying and locating objects from acoustic and non-acoustic measurements from the acoustic antenna 2 and identified by the reader / receiver 7.
    The optical source S, the reader / receiver 7 and the processing unit 8 are deported. In other words, these units are external to the linear acoustic antenna 2. They are advantageously installed aboard a marine building 80 or on a land station. The acoustic antenna 2 is essentially in the form of an elongated pipe of substantially circular cross-section comprising an envelope and one or more hydrophones and one or more non-acoustic measuring units 5, as shown in FIGS. envelope enclosing the hydrophone (s) and the non-acoustic measurement unit (s). As a variant, the acoustic antenna 2 is essentially in the form of a plate comprising an envelope and the hydrophones and one or more non-acoustic measurement units 5, the envelope enclosing the hydrophone (s) and the unit (s) of measurement non-acoustic.
    As previously stated, the hydrophones 3 are fiber optic hydrophones. In the patent application, an optical fiber hydrophone is a hydrophone acting on a mechanical stress experienced by a sensitive zone of an optical fiber so as to convert an acoustic pressure to which it is subjected into a corresponding mechanical stress experienced by the zone. sensitive optical fiber, the optical fiber carrying an optical signal whose measurable physical property has a value representative of said mechanical stress. The value of the physical property of the optical signal is representative of the sound pressure measured by the hydrophone. In other words, such a hydrophone is configured so that the variations of the external acoustic pressure, to which it is subjected, result in variations of a mechanical stress experienced by the associated sensitive zone, for example a variation of an elongation along the axis of the associated fiber, in turn resulting in variations of a measurable physical property of an optical signal carried by the optical fiber. The physical property that varies is for example a phase or a wavelength of an optical signal. The value of the signal property is representative of the sound pressure measured by the fiber optic hydrophone.
    These hydrophones may be so-called all-optical hydrophones of the type comprising an acoustic pressure sensitive element directly delivering an optical signal representative of the acoustic pressure to which it is subjected. A non-limiting example of this type of sensor is described in the patent application filed by the applicant and published with the publication number FR2974263. In a variant, these hydrophones may be so-called hybrid hydrophones. A hybrid hydrophone comprises an acoustically sensitive, preferably passive, electrical pressure sensitive element delivering an electrical output signal representative of the external acoustic pressure to which it is subjected. It further comprises an electro-optical transducer acting on a sensitive area of an optical fiber, and more particularly on a stress experienced by a sensitive area, for transforming the electrical signal into an optical signal carried by the optical fiber. The optical signal has a measurable physical property representative of the electrical signal. A non-limiting example of this type of sensor is described in the patent application filed by the applicant with the publication number WO2007 / 056827.
    In one example, the optical fiber sensitive zones on which the hydrophones act are sensitive zones of the fiber-laser cavity type, advantageously Bragg-grating fiber lasers, for example of the distributed feedback type, called DFB FL with reference to FIG. English expression "distributed feedback fiber laser". Bragg grating fiber laser cavities comprise a Bragg grating inscribed in the sensitive area of the optical fiber. When pump energy is injected into the optical fiber by an optical source, the cavity emits an optical signal having a predetermined wavelength. The wavelength emitted varies as a function of the voltage experienced by the sensitive zone along the axis of the fiber, that is to say according to the elongation of the sensitive zone. The mechanical tension or elongation experienced by the sensitive zone is a function of the external acoustic pressure. The wavelength of the optical signal makes it possible to deduce the external acoustic pressure applied to the sensitive zone. The sensitive areas associated with the respective hydrophones are set to different respective wavelengths so that the signals emitted by the different sensitive areas have different wavelengths. Hydrophones are said to be multiplexed in wavelength.
    In a variant, the sensitive zone is a section of standard optical fiber. An elongation variation of the sensitive zone causes a variation of the phase of an optical signal injected into the optical fiber in the direction of the transducer.
    FIG. 2 illustrates more precisely a first example of a sonar measuring system intended to deliver acoustic and non-acoustic measurements to the processing unit 8. This measurement system comprises a measuring device 20 intended to deliver acoustic and non-acoustic measurements for use by the processing unit 8 for detecting and locating objects. This measurement device 20 comprises a plurality of optical fiber hydrophones 3 and a main optical fiber 14 making it possible to trace, to the reader / receiver 7, the measurements coming from the hydrophones in optical form.
    In the non-limiting example shown in FIG. 2, the measuring device 20 comprises two optical fibers 10a, 10b, called acoustic optical fibers in the remainder of the text, intended to convey acoustic measurements delivered by the hydrophones. The number of hydrophones and the number of so-called acoustic optical fibers on which they act represented in the figures, are not limiting. The measurement system 20 comprises at least one acoustic optical fiber and at least one hydrophone.
    Each acoustic optical fiber 10a, 10b comprises a plurality of sensitive areas 11a, 11b of optical fiber with i and j = 1 to 3 shown in thick lines in FIG.
    We next assume that in the non-limiting example of Figure 2, the optical hydrophones 3 are hydrophones with fiber laser cavities. In other words, they act on sensitive areas 11a, 11bj which are fiber-distributed, for example, distributed feedback cavities embedded in the respective acoustic optical fibers 10a, 10b and spaced along these respective acoustic optical fibers 10a, 10b. In this example, the hydrophones 3 induce, under the effect of variations of an acoustic pressure to which they are subjected, variations in mechanical stresses which are variations in mechanical tension or elongation of the respective sensitive zones 11a, 11 bj along the axes of the respective acoustic optical fibers. These variations in stresses induce variations in the wavelengths λai, λbj of optical signals conveyed by the acoustic optical fibers 10a, 10b which are signals emitted by the respective sensitive areas 11a, 11bj. Indeed, each sensitive zone 11a, 11bj emits, under the effect of a pump signal, an optical signal whose wavelength is representative of the elongation it undergoes and consequently of the measured acoustic pressures by the respective hydrophones.
    The main optical fiber 14 is coupled to the acoustic optical fibers 10a and 10b by means of an optical coupler 15. The main optical fiber 14 is connected at the input of the optical coupler and the acoustic optical fibers are connected at the output of the optical coupler. The function of the optical coupler 15 is to divide the power of the optical excitation signal conveyed by the main optical fiber 14 connected at the input of the optical coupler 15 to a plurality of portions of the optical excitation signal injected onto optical fibers connected at the output. optical coupler. The coupler thus makes it possible to divide the power of the optical excitation signal conveyed on the main optical fiber 14 to inject portions of this power onto a plurality of optical fibers connected at the output of the coupler. The optical coupler 15 also has the function, in the direction of the double arrow, of combining the optical signals coming from the optical fibers connected at the output of the optical coupler into a single optical signal called the return signal conveyed by the main optical fiber 14. The signal Optical feedback conveys the characteristics of the optical signals from the hydrophones acting on the optical fibers connected at the output of the coupler.
    The measurements from the hydrophones are conveyed by the main optical fiber 14 in a multiplexed format (here in wavelength). They are transmitted to the reader / receiver 7 in a multiplexed format via the main optical fiber 14. Thus, the physical properties of the respective signals can be individually observed by analyzing the properties of the optical signals conveyed by the main optical fiber 14.
    This makes it possible to discriminate the signals on which the different hydrophones act and to deduce the acoustic measurements from the respective hydrophones from the values of the physical property of the optical signals on which the respective hydrophones act.
    An object of the invention is to integrate acoustic sensors with electrical output in an all-optical architecture of the type described without electricity supply and without modifying this architecture. For this purpose, the measuring device 20 also comprises a non-acoustic measuring unit 5 according to the invention comprising at least one non-acoustic sensor with an electrical output 4 intended to deliver an electrical signal representative of at least one physical quantity to be measured.
    The non-acoustic electrical sensor may be an individual sensor which may be, without limitation, a heading sensor for measuring a heading (along at least one axis preferably along three axes), a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature, an immersion sensor for measuring an immersion, and / or an accelerometer (for measuring accelerations along at least one axis preferably along three axes). A heading sensor is a device that detects an angle with respect to a fixed predetermined direction relative to a terrestrial frame.
    According to the invention, each non-acoustic measurement unit 5 further comprises a portion 12a of an optical fiber 12, called non-acoustic optical fiber in the rest of the text, intended to convey non-acoustic measurements and a passive electro-optical transducer 6 electrically connected to the non-acoustic sensor 4 so as to be electrically powered by means of the electrical signal delivered by the sensor and coupled to a sensitive area 13 of the portion 12a of the non-acoustic optical fiber so that when the transducer is subjected to the signal electrical output of the acoustic sensor, it acts on a mechanical stress experienced by the sensitive area 13 so as to convert a physical quantity measured by the non-acoustic sensor 4 into a corresponding stress experienced by the sensitive area 13 of the portion 12a of the fiber non-acoustic optical 12 whose value is representative of the electrical signal. The non-acoustic optical fiber 12 then carries an optical signal having in particular a measurable physical property, for example a phase or a wavelength, whose value is representative of the value of the mechanical stress that it undergoes. The value of the measurable physical property of this optical signal is therefore representative of the value of the physical quantity measured by the sensor. In other words, such a transducer 6 is configured so that the variations of a physical quantity to which it is subjected translate into variations in the stress experienced by the other associated sensitive zone 13, for example a variation in a mechanical tension causing elongation variation along the axis of the associated fiber, in turn resulting in variations in the measurable physical property value of an optical signal conveyed by the optical fiber. The transducer 6 acts on the same optical fiber constraint as the hydrophones. This constraint acts on the same physical property of the optical signal as the hydrophones. This is the wavelength λί. For this sensitive areas that coupled to the hydrophones 3 and those coupled to the sensor 4 are based on the same technology. If the sensitive zones coupled to the hydrophones are optical fiber laser cavities inscribed in the first optical fibers, the sensitive zone coupled to the sensor 4 is an optical fiber laser cavity inscribed in the non-acoustic optical fiber. If the sensitive areas coupled to the hydrophones are standard sections of optical fiber, the sensitive area coupled to the sensor 4 too.
    By passive electro-optical transducer 6 is meant an electro-optical transducer which does not require any electrical energy other than that of the signal from the sensor 4 to transform the electrical signal into a mechanical stress or elongation or variation of elongation of the zone. sensitive representative 13 of the electrical signal. This configuration is very advantageous because it does not require external energy to transform the electrical output signal of the non-acoustic sensor into an optical signal. It is therefore compatible with acoustic reception antenna applications and with conventional optical connectors. It also does not require additional power source or electrical wiring to ensure this transformation.
    The transformation of the mechanical stress experienced by the sensitive zone of the non-acoustic optical fiber coupled to the sensor 4 into a corresponding optical signal and the transport of this optical signal do not require a dedicated energy source. Only a relatively low pump power (of the order of a few mW) injected at great distance into the non-acoustic optical fiber in the direction of the transponder is required. Furthermore, the output of the non-acoustic sensor being carried by an optical fiber, they can be transmitted at great distance without significant energy input. The transmission of information by optical fiber does not generate noise. The non-acoustic measurement unit 5 also comprises and at least one photovoltaic cell 18 electrically coupled to said sensor 4 for electrically feeding said sensor 4. The power supply of the sensor 4 therefore does not require an electrical connection between the non-acoustic measuring unit 5 and the marine building 80, the photovoltaic cell 18 can be powered by an optical energy carried by an optical fiber. In a variant, the measurement unit does not include a photovoltaic cell.
    The photovoltaic cell is, for example, a photovoltaic diode. The non-acoustic measurement unit 5 according to the invention has the advantage of being able to be integrated into the all-optical acoustic architecture previously described, comprising the transducers and optical fibers for conveying the signals from the transducers to the reader / receiver 7 , without modification of this architecture and in particular without addition of electrical connection for the recovery of non-acoustic measurements from the sensor 4 to the marine building 80. Indeed, the non-acoustic measurements are transformed into optical signals having a measurable physical property representative of non-acoustic measurement. This information can be traced back to the main optical fiber 14 by optically coupling the portion of the non-acoustic optical fiber 12 of the non-acoustic measurement unit 5 to the main optical fiber 14. Moreover, this measurement can be isolated and differentiated. measurements from hydrophones by simple multiplexing.
    FIG. 2 represents an example of integration of the non-acoustic measuring unit 5 according to the invention into an all-optical measuring device 20 according to the invention.
    The main optical fiber 14 is coupled to the non-acoustic optical fiber 12 by means of the optical coupler 15. The non-acoustic optical fiber 12 is connected at the output of the optical coupler 15.
    In the nonlimiting example shown in FIG. 2, the measuring device 20 comprises a non-acoustic measurement unit 5, but it can include several of them. The non-acoustic measuring unit (s) can (can) be coupled to one or more non-acoustic optical fibers 12.
    Advantageously, the measurements from the respective hydrophones and the non-acoustic measurement unit 5 are conveyed by the main optical fiber 14 in a multiplexed (wavelength) format. They are transmitted to the processing unit 7 in a multiplexed format via the main optical fiber 14. This is also the case when the measuring device 20 comprises several non-acoustic measuring units 5. In other words the signals on which the sensors act. respective of the measuring device 20 (hydrophones, non-acoustic sensors) are multiplexed so that the physical properties carried by the respective signals are individually observable by analyzing the values of the property values of the optical signals guided by the main optical fiber 14. A to this effect, the sensitive areas on which the sensors and the respective transducers act are associated with fiber laser cavities set at respective wavelengths λa, (i = 1 to 3 and j-1 to 3 in the nonlimiting example of FIG. 2), λΐ different so that the signals on which the hydrophones and the (or the) uni respective measuring taps have different respective wavelengths.
    This makes it possible to discriminate the signals on which the different hydrophones and the measuring unit 5 or the respective units of measurement act. More specifically, this allows the reader / receiver 7 to isolate the optical signals from the respective hydrophones 3 and each non-acoustic measurement unit 5 and to deduce the respective associated measurements from the values of the measurable physical property of these sensors. signals. In other words, the invention proposes to photo-interrogate the non-acoustic measurement unit 5 through the same interrogation chain (main optical fiber) as the hydrophones, that is to say with feedback. on the same optical fiber and using the same processing device.
    Optical transport and replay of information from the sensor does not generate electromagnetic disturbances. This makes it possible to guarantee optimal operation of the sensors and in particular of course sensors whose measurements can be disturbed by nearby electromagnetic fields.
    The proposed solution is compact, lightweight and inexpensive. It makes it possible to integrate the sensor into a linear acoustic antenna of small diameter and low density close to that of water.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the transducer 6 acts on a portion 12a of a non-acoustic optical fiber 12 distinct from the acoustic optical fibers 10a, 10b. The example shown in Figure 3 differs from the example shown in Figure 2 in that the non-acoustic optical fiber is an acoustic optical fiber. The acoustic antenna 2 comprises, in a nonlimiting manner, two acoustic optical fibers 100a, 100b with which hydrophones 3 are coupled. The measurement device 200 comprises a measurement unit 50 comprising a non-acoustic electrical output sensor 4 and a transducer 60. The transducer 60 acts on a sensitive area 130 of a portion 13a of an acoustic optical fiber 100a. This sensitive zone 130 is distinct from the sensitive areas 101a1, 101bj on which the hydrophones which are coupled to the acoustic optical fiber in question 100a act. The respective sensitive zones are associated with fiber laser cavities set at respective wavelengths Xa ', Xbj' (i '= 1 to 3 and j' = 1 to 3 in the nonlimiting example of FIG. 3), λΐ so that the signals on which the respective hydrophones and measuring unit act have different respective wavelengths. This solution does not require a dedicated optical fiber for the transport of information from the sensor or wiring or dedicated power source.
    An embodiment may also be envisaged in which the measuring device comprises a single optical fiber, the main optical fiber. The main optical fiber is both an acoustic and non-acoustic optical fiber.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the sensitive zone 130 on which the transducer 60 acts is located downstream of the sensitive areas 101a1 associated with the hydrophones 3 coupled to the same optical fiber 100a as the transducer 60 in the path of the beam portion. pump, guided by this fiber 100a, represented by the simple arrow extending along this fiber 100a. In other words, the transducer 60 receives a pump residue from the hydrophones 3 coupled to the same acoustic optical fiber 100a. This provision is not limiting. The sensitive zone 130 could for example extend upstream of the sensitive zones on which the hydrophones act or between two hydrophones.
    The electric sensor 4 comprises a power supply input to which the photovoltaic cell 18 is connected and an output by which it delivers an electrical signal, this output being connected to the transducer 6 or 60 so as to electrically supply the electro-optical transducer to the means of the electrical signal delivered by the sensor.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the photovoltaic cell 18 is coupled to an optical fiber 19, called the optical supply fiber, so as to be supplied with light energy by means of an optical signal conveyed by the optical fiber 19. signal also advantageously makes it possible to give the photovoltaic cell 18 the power to produce the supply voltage of the sensor 4.
    The optical fiber supply 19 provides the optical energy transport between the optical source S and the photovoltaic cell 18. This type of power supply is compact, lightweight and can be expensive and allows, because of low energy losses in an optical fiber , a larger offset of the sensor relative to the source S.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the optical supply fiber 19 is an optical fiber dedicated to the optical energy supply of the photovoltaic cell. It is distinct from acoustic and non-acoustic optical fibers. The supply of the sensor 4 therefore requires an additional optical fiber extending from the other optical source S to the photovoltaic cell 18.
    In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the optical fiber supplying power to the photovoltaic cell 18 is the non-acoustic optical fiber 12 on which the transducer 6 acts. In other words, the electric sensor 4 is powered electrically by means of a photovoltaic cell 18 supplied with light energy by means of the non-acoustic optical fiber 12. More specifically, the photovoltaic cell 18 and the transducer 6 are arranged along the same non-acoustic optical fiber 12 so that the photovoltaic cell is powered by a pump light (or more generally excitation) residue leaving the sensitive zone 13 on which the transducer 6 acts. In other words, the sensitive zone 13 on which the transducer 6 associated with the sensor 4 is interposed is interposed between the photovoltaic cell 18 and the coupler 15, or more generally between the optical source S and the coupler 15, in the guiding direction the signal from the source S represented by simple arrows. The electrical information from the sensor is returned in the opposite direction via the transducer 6 in the form of an optical signal. This configuration uses the property of the transducer which needs a supply of light energy so that the population inversion takes place in its active region but which takes a low optical power. Crossing losses are typically 0.4 dB or less than 5% due to the characteristics of optical fiber laser cavities. The pump residue, at the output of the transponder, can therefore be advantageously used for powering the photovoltaic cell. It is compact and lightweight. It should be noted that an acoustic antenna typically comprises a plurality of measuring devices 20, 200, as represented in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, each detection module being connected to an optical source S offset by means of a fiber dedicated main optics and includes at least one non-acoustic electrical sensor. Providing a power supply for each non-acoustic electrical sensor as shown in FIG. 2 rather than as represented in FIG. 3 therefore saves not one but a plurality of main optical fibers (one for each device). measures 20, 200).
    Alternatively, a second optical source emitting a second pump beam is coupled to the optical fiber supply, instead of the source S, so as to inject the second pump beam so that the optical fiber supply ensures guiding the second pump beam.
    Alternatively, the optical fiber supply could be an acoustic optical fiber. The photovoltaic cell and the hydrophones coupled to this acoustic optical fiber would be arranged along the non-acoustic optical fiber 12 so that the photovoltaic cell is powered by a pump light (or more generally excitation) residue leaving the zone. sensitive on which acts each hydrophone coupled to this acoustic optical fiber. This acoustic optical fiber can also be a non-acoustic optical fiber.
    As a variant, the optical supply fiber is an acoustic optical fiber distinct from the non-acoustic optical fiber (s) or an optical fiber distinct from the acoustic and non-acoustic fiber (s) and connected at the output of the optical coupler 15.
    In another variant, the photovoltaic cell 18 may be common to several non-acoustic measuring units 5 or 50. In the case where the photovoltaic cell 18 is powered by means of an optical fiber supply which is a non-acoustic optical fiber on which at least one of the non-acoustic measuring units powered by the photovoltaic cell acts, the transducer of each of these non-acoustic measuring units is then interposed between the photovoltaic cell and the coupler 15 or more generally between the photovoltaic cell and the optical source S in the direction of guidance of the excitation light signal.
    Alternatively, the measurement unit comprises a plurality of photovoltaic cells coupled to different respective optical power fibers. The photovoltaic cells deliver respective electrical energies added by means of an adder, the sensor being electrically powered by means of the sum of the electric energies.
    In each variant, each photovoltaic cell can be optically coupled to a plurality of optical fiber supply so as to be supplied with light energy by means of several optical fiber supply. These fibers may comprise one or more acoustic fibers and / or one or more non-acoustic fibers and / or one or more fibers distinct from the acoustic and non-acoustic fibers. In this case, the polarization of the optical signals delivered by the different optical fibers to which the photovoltaic cell is coupled is advantageously controlled by means of polarization controllers before their energies are summed by means of an optical summator. The sum of the light energies supplies the photovoltaic cell with light energy. For example, the photovoltaic cell is coupled to a plurality of acoustic optical fibers downstream of the hydrophones in the direction of the path of the excitation light signal so as to be fed by means of the pump residues from the hydrophones coupled to these acoustic optical fibers. This makes it possible to supply the photovoltaic cell and the sensor correctly if the pump residues resulting from the respective acoustic optical fibers are insufficient.
    Advantageously, the sensor 4 has a low energy consumption. It consumes advantageously an energy lower than a few tens of mW. This makes it possible to maintain an all optical architecture without risk of power failure. MEMS type sensors make it possible to achieve this type of electrical energy consumption.
    Advantageously, the electro-optical transducer 6 is a passive piezoelectric transducer which transforms a variation of electrical signal (output signal of the sensor) by means of which it is electrically powered into a variation of mechanical stress experienced by the second sensitive zone 13 by a piezoelectric effect . The mechanical stress, for example the voltage of the sensitive zone, is representative of the electrical signal. This type of transducer makes it possible to transform with great sensitivity an electrical signal into a second optical signal. Several examples of electro-optical transducers of this type are described in the patent application filed by the applicant with the publication number WO2007 / 056827. In this example, the sensitive areas coupled to the transducers are fiber laser cavities.
    In general, in an electro-optical transducer of the piezoelectric type, each acoustic transducer comprises one or more piezoelectric element (s). Each piezoelectric element is electrically coupled to the non-acoustic electrical output sensor so as to be electrically powered by means of the electrical signal delivered by the sensor. The piezoelectric element is mechanically coupled to a sensitive zone of an optical fiber so that its deformation, under the effect of a variation of the electrical signal, generates a variation of the stress experienced by the second sensitive zone, for example the elongation of the second sensitive zone which is representative of the electrical signal. The piezoelectric element may be, but not limited to, a monocrystalline or ceramic piezoelectric bar, or a bimorph bar or plate (consisting of a layer of piezoelectric material and a metal layer). The piezoelectric element may be designed to deform substantially in bending or substantially elongate along a predetermined axis in the direction of its length under the effect of a variation of the electric field. The piezoelectric element may be electro-mechanically coupled, that is to say advantageously intended to vibrate in 31 or 32 (transverse) mode under the effect of a variation of the electrical signal. This makes it possible to obtain simple piezoelectric elements having good electro-optical sensitivity and a large capacitance. This type of transducer makes it possible in particular to transform into an optical signal, a weak electrical signal (typically equal to a few nW). Alternatively, the piezoelectric element is electro-mechanically coupled in longitudinal mode (mode 33).
    According to the invention, as visible in FIG. 2, the main optical fiber 14 is coupled to the optical source S which is configured to transmit an optical excitation signal in the direction of the single arrow towards the hydrophones 3 and the 5. In the case of use of fiber optic laser cavity sensitive areas, the excitation optical signal is a pump beam intended to ensure the population inversion in the sensitive areas of the first and second regions. optical fiber. Advantageously, the optical power injected into the main optical fiber 14 by the optical source S is chosen so as to avoid non-linear effects within the first optical fibers to which the hydrophones are coupled. It is typically chosen to inject a power of about 1W into the first optical fibers for an acoustic optical fiber having a length of several kilometers. This makes it possible to avoid disturbing the operation of hydrophones related to nonlinear effects appearing at higher powers.
    The reader / receiver 7 comprises a demultiplexing device 16 comprising at least one optical demultiplexer. The optical demultiplexer receives the optical signals carried by the main optical fiber 14 and isolates these different optical signals. In other words, the demultiplexing device makes it possible to discriminate the respective signals on which the hydrophones and each measurement unit 5 act.
    The reader / receiver 7 comprises a reader 17 for measuring the values of the characteristics of the optical signals from the respective hydrophones and the measurement unit 5 (or respective measurement units) and to deduce therefrom the respective sound pressure measurements. and the physical magnitude measurement or the respective physical magnitude measurements.
    Advantageously, the reader 17 comprises at least one optoelectronic transducer, for example at least one photodiode, for transforming the respective optical signals conveyed by the optical fiber into electrical feedback signals. It advantageously comprises at least one calculator making it possible to deduce the characteristics and other respective characteristics of these electrical return signals and to deduce from them the associated respective measurements.
    The demultiplexing device 16 may comprise at least one time multiplexer and / or at least one frequency multiplexer (wavelength). Since the hydrophones 3 and each measurement unit 5 act on the same property or physical characteristic of optical signals conveyed by the optical fiber, the same type of multiplexing and demultiplexing, for example temporal and / or frequency, is used to extract the information. from different hydrophones 3 and each measurement unit 5. This makes it possible not to have to modify the interrogation chain used by the hydrophones during the integration of the sensor.
    In the case of frequency multiplexing, the demultiplexing device comprises a wavelength demultiplexer making it possible to isolate all these signals. This embodiment is particularly advantageous because the multiplexing of the signals is inherent in the structure of the fibers. It does not require energy.
    As a variant, the acoustic and non-acoustic optical fibers are configured so that the variation of the elongation of each sensitive zone of these fibers varies the phase of an optical signal, advantageously portions of the excitation signal carried by these fibers. respectively. The measuring device 20 then advantageously comprises a temporal multiplexer making it possible to multiplex these portions of excitation signals in a temporal manner. The time multiplexer is advantageously installed on board the ship or on a land station. The first signals and the second signal are therefore transmitted to the processing unit in a time-shifted manner. The demultiplexing device then comprises a time demultiplexer receiving the signals conveyed by the main optical fiber and making it possible to isolate the signals on which the respective hydrophones 3 and measurement units 5 act.
    Each hydrophone 3 may comprise a single sensitive element. As a variant, when the hydrophone is a so-called "hybrid" hydrophone, it can comprise several sensitive elements connected in series and / or in parallel with a single transducer or connected to the same transducer so that the measurements coming from the respective sensitive elements are transmitted to an acoustic fiber via the transducer in a time multiplexed format. Each non-acoustic sensor 4 can be configured to measure one or more physical quantities (for example the heading along one or more axes). The sensor is therefore able to deliver different electrical signals representative of the respective physical quantities. In the second case, the measurement unit advantageously comprises a time multiplexer for applying to the transducer the electrical signals representative of the respective physical quantities in a time-multiplexed format. These signals advantageously form a digital frame. The demultiplexing device then advantageously comprises a temporal demultiplexer making it possible to separate the other electrical signals representative of the respective physical quantities.
    Each electrical signal delivered by a sensor is representative of the output signal of the sensor. It can be an output signal of a sensor. It can be an analog or digital signal. In one embodiment, the output signal of the sensor is analog. The electrical signal to which the transducer is subjected is advantageously the output signal of the digitized sensor. In other words, an AC / DC converter is interposed between the sensor and the transponder. The use of a digital signal makes it possible to carry out a temporal multiplexing of the output of the sensor, for example in the case where it is able to measure several physical quantities as specified previously. The electrical signal is then a digital frame in which the measurements relating to the different physical quantities are time multiplexed.
    A filter may be interposed between the sensor and the transducer to filter undesired components of the sensor output signal prior to injecting the electrical signal onto the transducer.
    In the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, the sonar measuring system comprises a single measuring device 20, respectively 200. In a variant, the measuring system comprises a plurality of measuring devices 20, 200, that is to say a plurality of main optical fibers and a plurality of hydrophones 3 and at least one non-acoustic measuring unit 5 coupled to said respective main optical fibers. Each main optical fiber is connected to a reader / receiver 7 and to an optical source S as described above. The measurement system comprises either a reader / receiver dedicated to each main fiber or a reader / receiver common to the main optical fibers. The measurement system comprises either an optical source common to each main fiber or an optical source dedicated to each main fiber.
    Advantageously, the hydrophones and the measurement unit or units are included in an acoustic linear antenna 2. Advantageously, the acoustic and non-acoustic optical fibers as well as the coupler are also included in the non-acoustic linear antenna. The acoustic antenna is connected to the reader / receiver 7 and to the optical source S by means of the main antenna 14 and optionally by means of at least one optical supply fiber as described above.
