Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de détermination des caractéristiques d'inflammabilité d'une source optique émettant une énergie électrique dans un environnement dangereux. Ce procédé consiste à utiliser une chambre et une fibre optique conique ayant une extrémité d'entrée et une extrémité de sortie, ladite extrémité de sortie ayant un diamètre inférieur à celui de l'extrémité d'entrée. L'extrémité de sortie de la fibre conique est disposée au sein de la chambre et son extrémité d'entrée est optiquement couplée à la source optique de façon à recevoir de l'énergie de cette dernière. Dans un premier temps, la fibre conique reçoit de l'énergie et dans un second temps, l'énergie en sortie au niveau de l'extrémité de sortie de la fibre conique est mesurée. Puis une cible est appliquée à l'extrémité de sortie de la fibre conique, la chambre est remplie avec le mélange gaz/air souhaité et la même énergie est appliquée à la fibre conique. Après un laps de temps donné d'application de l'énergie, on détermine si le mélange gaz/air s'est enflammé ou non.
