French term or phrase: signal de pilotage
Hello,

"L'état de la technique peut également être illustré par l'enseignement de la demande de brevet US 5 757 013 A qui divulgue un appareil de mesure de la décroissance de fluorescence (« fluorescence decay ») qui met en œuvre un traitement numérique basé sur un signal de fluorescence et un signal de référence, où le signal de référence sert essentiellement à mesurer un déphasage pour le signal de fluorescence, avec la mise en œuvre du calcul d'un produit interne entre les signaux de fluorescence et de référence démodulés à une fréquence distincte de la fréquence porteuse du signal de pilotage de la source lumineuse ; ce calcul permettant de déterminer un tel déphasage et d'en déduire la décroissance de fluorescence. »

Simply "piloting signal"?

Thank you

drive signal
Explanation:
All the variants of 'pilote' need to be considered first and foremost as 'drive' elements — which fits perfectly in this instance.

The actual term 'pilot' is generally much less common in EN, and hence must be regarded as in many cases a faux ami.

IEEE:

In DS-CDMA systems coherent detection is usually adopted by adding or multiplexing redundant pilot signals with voice or data traffic. The pilot signals need additional transmit power but, at the same time, decrease the power used for traffic channel through facilitating channel estimation, which reduces the bit energy-to-noise density ratio (Eb/No) required for delivering the traffic signals. The interdependency between pilot and traffic channel powers has been analyzed in various studies, but has not yet been exploited in existing power control methods.

neutral  Tony M: Not in this specific context (faux ami): here it is talking about the signal driving the light source / "commonly used", yes — but not here; in EN you do not 'pilot' a l/diode, THAT's the faux ami

  -> "pilot" is specific: in this patent, a non modulated signal is generated by a carrier frequency and used for piloting a laser diode, while a modulator changes the frequency ; "pilot", "pilot channe"l and "pilot timing" (synchronisation) are commonly used
