Thesis submitted to Universite, Paris. Work was carried out on three applications of an electronic device whose principle is based on that of the diode pump: linear response circuit, logarithmic response circuit, and detection of neutronic power excursions in atomic piles using a circuit or a combination of several circuits of the linear response type. Each of the applications was studied theoretically and experimentally. Finally, the detection of rapid power excursions is extensively discussed with reference to the many methods available, with emphasis on the rapidity of the electronic response. (auth)
