Interferometric measurement device includes a light source emitting a source signal and optical coupling elements receiving the source signal, directing part of the latter towards a measurement pathway including a Sagnac ring interferometer, of frequency fp, producing a power output signal POUT polarized according to a first polarization direction, tapping off another part of the source signal towards a compensation pathway producing a return power compensation signal PRET, and directing the output and compensation signals towards detection elements. The compensation pathway includes polarization rotation elements producing the compensation signal according to a second cross-direction of polarization, and optical looping elements redirecting part of the compensation signal towards the measurement pathway; the detection elements include a single detector connected to the coupling elements for receiving the output signal and the compensation signal; the device further includes power equilibration elements equalizing the output power and/or return power are routed towards the detector. |
