A double optical probe device for the determination of the refractive index of a liquid reduced to a predetermined reference temperature, said device being adapted to give rise to an error which is more positive than the negative error inherent to a single optical probe device, characterized in that said device comprises: a first and second optical probe each consisting of a light conducting body comprising an inlet section and an outlet section connected to each other by an intermediate section, at least said intermediate section of each of said probes being designed to be immersed in said liquid, and this intermediate section being, furthermore, adapted to convey light between said inlet section and said outlet section by giving rise to a quantity of light emerging from said outlet section of each of said probes which varies exponentially as a function of the refractive index of said liquid, at least one light source associated with said inlet section of said first and second probes, for the injection of a predetermined quantity of light into each of these inlet sections, and means associated with said outlet section of said first and second probes, for the elaboration of a resulting signal corresponding to the quotient of light quantities respectively emerging from said outlet sections, said intermediate sections of said first and second probes being, in addition, chosen, on the one hand, as regards their geometric arrangement, so as to have respective exponentiality coefficients “k1”and “k2”relative to the variations of the refractive index of the liquid such that “k1”is higher than “k2”, and, on the other hand, as regards the constituent material thereof, so as to have apparent respective sensitivities “q1”and “q2”, relative to the variations in temperature of this liquid such that “q1”is lower than “q2”, so that said resulting signal elaborated at the outlet of said probes constitutes a signal which is representative of said refractive index of the liquid reduced to said reference temperature, the refractive index thus determined being, furthermore, tainted, for temperatures differing from this reference temperature, with an error which is more positive than that which would result from the use of a single probe.
