Interference measuring apparatus having an optical system for dividing a coherent light beam into two light beams, and causing the divided two light beams to pass along discrete optical paths. The light beams are made into linearly polarized light beams orthogonal to each other and given modulation to the phase of the wave front of at least one of them. The wave fronts of the linearly polarized light beams are superposed one upon the others. A light dividing member divides the light beams superposed one upon the other by the optical system into a plurality of light beams. A polarizing plate takes out each light beam with a 45° polarized component, and a plurality of light receiving elements individually receive the light beams taken out by the polarizing plate.

An optical type encoder includes a light-emitting element, a scale, a light receiving element for detecting light from the scale when a light beam from the light-emitting element is projected onto the scale, an incremental signal resulting from displacement of the scale being obtained by detection by the light receiving element, two or more mark portions for producing an origin signal formed on the scale, and an origin detecting system for detecting the mark portions for producing the origin signal. The rising position or the falling position of at least one pulse signal indicative of the origin is determined by the detection signals of the two or more mark portions for producing the origin signal by the origin detecting system.

摘要:
A first beam having high coherence and a second beam having low coherence and having a central wavelength difference from that of the first beam are multiplexed onto the same optical axis. First and second multiplexed beams obtained by beam splitting are emitted at a measurement reflection plane and a reference plane, respectively. The reflected first and second multiplexed beams are multiplexed and interfere with each other. The interference generates a first interference signal that is obtained from the first beams at the interference unit and that relates to information on the distance to the measurement reflection plane and a second interference signal that is obtained from the second beams. The first and second interference signals are used to carry out calculations for determining the position of a measurement origin for the measurement reflection plane.

摘要:
A first beam having high coherence and a second beam having low coherence are multiplexed onto the same optical axis. This multiplexed beam is split into first and second multiplexed beams. The first multiplexed beam is directed towards a measurement reflection plane of an object to be measured, and the second multiplexed beam is directed towards a reference plane. The first and second multiplexed beams that are reflected from the measurement reflection plane and the reference plane, respectively, are multiplexed to cause the first beams to interfere with each other and the second beams to interfere with each other. Calculations are carried out to determine a measurement origin on the basis of the first and second interference signals obtained from the first and second beams, respectively.
