Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour guider des ondes électromagnétiques. Dans ce dispositif servant à guider des ondes électromagnétiques à l'intérieur d'un canal creux LK de transmission de la lumière, qui produit une réflexion intérieure et retransmet un faisceau de lumière d'un émetteur LS à un récepteur LE, cet émetteur et ce récepteur sont montés aux extrémités du canal LK, qui possède une ouverture pour l'introduction d'un moyen, comme par exemple un disque perforé LO, influençant les ondes électromagnétiques. Application notamment aux capteurs tachymétriques et aux sondes de détection du niveau de remplissage de réservoirs de carburant.The invention relates to a device for guiding electromagnetic waves. In this device for guiding electromagnetic waves inside a hollow light transmission channel LK, which produces an internal reflection and retransmits a beam of light from an LS transmitter to an LE receiver, this transmitter and this receiver are mounted at the ends of the LK channel, which has an opening for the introduction of a means, such as for example a perforated disc LO, influencing the electromagnetic waves. Application in particular to tachometric sensors and to fuel tank fill level detection probes.
