摘要:
An apparatus for measuring displacement information of an object. The apparatus has a light source emitting a light beam, an electro-optical crystal member, a voltage applying system for imparting a predetermined frequency difference between light beams passing through two different areas in the electro-optical crystal member, and a light receiving system for receiving scattered light from the object to which the two light beams emergent from the electro-optical crystal member have been projected. The electro-optical crystal member is disposed so that a light beam from the light source may partly enter the two different areas to form the two light beams to which the predetermined frequency difference is imparted. The displacement information of the object is obtained from the scattered light received by the light receiving system.

摘要:
A non-invasive servo-write system for use in a data recording disk drive. The system measures actuator position and generates a reference clock using semiconductor lasers. Internal position references are provided by reflective diffraction gratings affixed to the actuator arm and the spindle hub. Wavefront reconstruction optics correct for aberrations in the gratings. Optical sensors detect differential changes in the diffraction patterns created by the gratings, eliminating sensitivity to frequency drift. Decode electronics convert optical sensor data into an actuator position measurement. Control electronics drive the voice coil motor within the disk drive, which positions the write transducer to record servo information provided in a servo pattern generator. Transparent windows in the head-disk-assembly cover allow the servo-writer to write drives which are completely assembled and sealed.
摘要:
A linear encoder characterized as having a few number of parts including a light source that directs a beam of light onto the grating of a movable scale where reflected diffracted beams from two locations on the scale interfere with one another to form light fringe bands on a plane. In one embodiment, a Ronchi grating is located on the plane having lines with a spacing equal to the spacing of the light fringe bands. The combination of the Ronchi lines and the bands of the fringe pattern form a Moire pattern which is transmitted through the Ronchi grating and whose spatial distribution of intensity moves as the scale is moved and is detected by a photodetector array. The photodetector array converts the signal from the Moire pattern to a sinusoidal expression of displacement whose phase is used to determine displacement of the scale.
