CDA µFunctional Solutions - diffractive optical elements
OPTICAL ENCODER
Optical encoders especially the encoder discs, are components which contain alternatively and periodically unstructured subareas followed by scattering subareas and thus allow a relative encoding of the position. It is also possible to integrate additional areas with microstructures enabling the indication of the absolute position. They can be transparent or reflective by applying a thin metal layer. The applications include both rotational and translational movements.
