    Abstract: The method for manufacturing optical light guide elements comprises providing a plurality of initial bars, each initial bar extending along a respective initial-bar direction from a first bar end to a second bar end and having a first side face extending from the first bar end to the second bar end, the first side face being reflective; positioning the initial bars in a row with their respective initial-bar directions aligned parallel to each other and with their respective first surfaces facing towards a neighboring one of the initial bars; and fixing the plurality of initial bars with respect to each other in the position to obtain a bar arrangement.

    Abstract: An example optical encoder includes a rotary shaft having a rotational axis. The rotary shaft is actuatable along the rotational axis. The optical encoder also includes at least one light generating element operable to generate light, and at least one light detecting element operable to detect light and convert the detected light into a signal. The rotary shaft includes a portion operable to reflect light generated from the at least one light generating element onto the at least one light detecting element wherein the signal is generated. The portion is configured such that an actuation of the rotary shaft from a first position to a second position generates a corresponding change in the signal generated in the at least one light detecting element.
