Converting Sensor Output Optically TRIZ Cases
- Encoder Scale Inclined Surface for Detection Accuracy
An encoder scale uses an inclined second surface to direct reflected light away from the photodetector path.
- Optical Positioning Device with Direction-Selective Deflection Elements
A scanning unit uses direction-selective deflection elements to route light beams toward a jointly illuminated sub-area on the measuring scale.
- Retroreflective Encoder Grating for Compact Displacement Detection
A retroreflective encoder uses deflecting corner cubes to detect displacement with high resolution.
- Self-Delayed Homodyne Optical Fiber Sensor for Brillouin Frequency Shift
A self-delayed homodyne optical fiber sensor computes Brillouin frequency shift using phase control and intensity normalization.
- Optical Positioning Device Wavefront Correction
Wavefront correctors in the reflector unit compensate for deformations from curved graduations, restoring interference contrast and signal quality.
- Optical Position Measuring Device Uniform Light Intensity
A transparent carrier element supports a scanning grating and a damping structure to achieve homogeneous light distribution on the detector arrangement.
- High Sampling Rate Optical Fiber Sensor Using Birefringence Modulation
A polarization-maintaining fiber interferometer uses a birefringence modulator to process high-frequency signals.
- Optical Encoder Protector Inclination Diverts Reflected Light
An optical encoder protector features an inclined top surface that diverts reflected light away from photoreceiver fibers.
- Optical Readhead Grating Configuration for Shadow-Free Positioning
Multi-grating optical readhead separates analyser from scale to eliminate shadows while maintaining high measurement precision.
- Self-referenced Brillouin Fiber Sensor for Static Pressure Immunity
A self-referenced fiber sensor uses stimulated Brillouin scattering to measure physical quantities without interferometric modules.
- Photoelectric Encoder Signal Processing for Distorted Bright/Dark Patterns
A signal processing method classifies bright/dark images into image-forming and non-image-forming regions to replace distorted intensities with representative values.
