Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006013247A1] The inventive optical device (1) for measuring the thickness (e) of a first medium (2) which is at least partially transparent for an incident beam and covers a second medium (3) comprises a laser (5) for generating the light incident beam (4) in such a way that a beam (6) reflected by the first medium (2) surface and a beam (7) scattered by the second medium surface (3) are formed. Said device comprises a photosensitive linear array (8) for detecting the reflected beam (6) and the scattered beam (7) and a processing circuit (9) which is connected to the linear array (8) and enables to measure a space between the reflected beam (6) and the scattered beam (7) and to determine the thickness (e) of the first medium (2) according to the measured space. The processing circuit (9) determines a distance (H) between the linear array (8) and the surface of the second medium (3) from the position (d<sub
