A spectral interrogation device, including: an optical source for emitting a light signal, a measurement optical fibre comprising a series of successive Bragg gratings for reflecting the light signal in different wavelength bands, a reflective optical fibre comprising a total reflection element, a wavelength detector, and an optical switch for switching between a sequence of three operating modes. In a first mode, the light signal emitted by a given optical source is guided from the optical source to a corresponding measurement optical fibre. In a second mode, the light signal is guided to make a predetermined number of return trips in a line formed by a coupling between the measurement optical fibre and a corresponding reflective optical fibre, generating a predetermined delay between the successive gratings. In a third mode, the light signal is guided to a corresponding detector to successively measure the wavelength bands associated with the gratings.
