Abstract

The inventive method employs the -/+ division for intensity norming but forms the quotient from the signal difference and the signal sum not from component signals (L1, L2) generated by the sensor but--inventively --with signals (L1', L2') derived therefrom that exhibit periodically fluctuating intensity parts (I1'AC, I2'AC) of the same amplitude amount (.vertline.A.vertline.). The invention largely unites the advantages of -/+ division with those of AC/DC division.
