              | (57) Abstract: | 
            
              | (EN): This invention relates to a method and
                  to a device for the implementation of said method, to
                  spread homogeneously a radiative spectrum in
                  substrates (solid, liquid and gaseous), saturating
                  volumes in a pervasive and distributed way, with one
                  or two inlet points, fitted to ensure constancy of
                  diffusion, said two inlet points being able to be
                  supplied simultaneously or in following times. The
                  method is characterized by the fact to use one or more
                  side emitting optical fibers (1, 10) submerged in said
                  solids, liquids, vapours or gaseus mediums, said one
                  or more optical fibers (1, 10) being arranged in such
                  a way that a signal constituted by said radiative
                  spectrum, which is introduced into said one or more
                  optical fibers (1, 10), is distributed in a
                  substantially uniform manner in said solids, liquids,
                  vapours or gaseus mediums. The device is characterized
                  in that it comprises one or more side emitting optical
                  fibers (1, 10), each one of said optical fibers (1,
                  10) comprising two parallel branches, of outward (1a,
                  10a) and of return (1b, 10b) located at a close
                  distance, said parallel branches being enclosed in a
                  sandwich (4, 4a) made with a pair of sheets
                  transparent to the radiative spectrum of interest,
                  said one or more optical fibers (1, 10) being provided
                  with at least one inlet (2 or 3) through which a
                  signal (F1 or F2) is inserted, said signal (F1 or F2)
                  spreading in said solids, liquids, vapours or gaseus
                  mediums through the lateral emission of said one or
                  more optical fibers (1, 10). (FR): La présente invention concerne un
                  procédé et un dispositif pour la mise en œuvre dudit
                  procédé, pour disperser un spectre radiatif de manière
                  homogène dans des substrats (solides, liquides et
                  gazeux), des volumes de saturation de manière
                  omniprésente et répartie, à l'aide d'un ou de deux
                  points d'entrée, conçus pour assurer une constance de
                  diffusion, lesdits deux points d'entrée pouvant être
                  alimentés simultanément ou à la suite. Le procédé est
                  caractérisé en ce qu'il utilise une ou plusieurs
                  fibres optiques à émission latérale (1, 10) immergées
                  dans lesdits milieux solides, liquides, de vapeurs ou
                  gazeux, ladite ou lesdites fibres optiques (1, 10)
                  étant agencées de sorte qu'un signal constitué par
                  ledit spectre radiatif, qui est introduit dans ladite
                  ou lesdites fibres optiques (1, 10), soit réparti de
                  manière sensiblement uniforme dans lesdits milieux
                  solides, liquides, de vapeurs ou gazeux. Le dispositif
                  est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une ou plusieurs
                  fibres optiques à émission latérale (1, 10), chacune
                  desdites fibres optiques (1, 10) comprenant deux
                  branches parallèles, une vers l'extérieur (1a, 10a) et
                  une de retour (1b, 10b) proches l'une de l'autre,
                  lesdites branches parallèles étant enfermées dans un
                  sandwich (4, 4a) formé d'une paire de feuilles
                  transparentes pour le spectre radiatif d'intérêt,
                  ladite ou lesdites fibres optiques (1, 10) étant
                  pourvues d'au moins une entrée (2 ou 3) par laquelle
                  un signal (F1 ou F2) est inséré, ledit signal (F1 ou
                  F2) se dispersant dans lesdits milieux solides,
                  liquides, de vapeurs ou gazeux par l'intermédiaire de
                  l'émission latérale de ladite ou desdites fibres
                  optiques (1, 10).
