Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for demultiplexing spectrum lines contained in an optical spectrum. This device comprises a energy separator (2a, 2b, 2c) and selective wavelength light reflectors (12), each selective wavelength light reflector having a wavelength bandpass that contains the spectral region associated with one of the lines and that, therefore, reflects only this particular line. Applications to surveying constructions, such as buildings and aircraft.
