Direct optical remote-sensing system

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical remote-sensing system (2) comprising: - a laser source (10) configured to generate a laser beam; - an emission stage (12) configured to shape the laser beam with a view to propagation thereof through a medium to be probed (8); - a collection stage (20) configured to collect light scattered by the medium to be probed (8); - at least one photodetector (28); and - for each photodetector (28), a plurality of optical fibres (30) configured to convey part of the light collected by the collection stage (20) to the photodetector (28), an input (34) of each optical fibre (30) being positioned such that the photodetector (28) is the conjugate, through the optical fibre (30) and the collection stage (20), of a distinct point of the medium to be probed (8).
