摘要

This invention relates to an apparatus for continuously measuring the state of formation of a sheet of paper which comprises: -means for moving a sheet of paper at a predetermined speed; -a light source directing a laser beam through said sheet; -a means for picking up the laser light transmitted, then for converting it into an electrical signal; -electronic processing means for separating this electrical signal into two components; -means for calculating from these components the index I representative of the state of formation; -a means for displaying the value of this index I; wherein the laser beam is polarized, and the apparatus further comprises, between the sheet and the means for picking up the laser light transmitted, a polarizer of which the axis of polarization is perpendicular to the axis of polarization of the laser beam transmitted.
