    摘要: A detecting unit provided with an optical system is disposed away from a control unit formed by an electric circuit and an optical transmission/receiving means, and the detecting unit and the control unit are coupled through a transmission optical fiber. The control unit transmits to the detecting unit through the optical fiber a light wave which was subjected to the intensity modulation by a sinusoidal wave of a predetermined frequency. The transmitted light wave is branched into at least two branched optical paths within the detecting unit thereby to perform the phase modulation as to the respective light waves. The light waves passed through the respective branched optical paths are subjected to the phase modulation by the sinusoidal waves which differ in phase 1/4 period by 1/4 period from one another according to a position on a straight line or a rotation angle of a subject to be detected. Then, the light waves thus subjected to the intensity modulation are coupled to a single transmission optical fiber through the branched optical paths and transmitted to the control unit through the transmission optical fiber. In the control unit, the modulated light wave is received and subjected to the phase detection, thereby to calculate and output the position and the rotation angle in accordance with the phase modulation amount of the received light wave.

    摘要: An irregular pattern input device includes an optical fiber bundle in which an entrance surface and an exit surface are respectively formed at both ends thereof. Lighting means emits irradiation light so as to provide a light pattern according to a convex portion of a subject in contact with the entrance surface, and according to a concave portion of the subject in no contact with the entrance surface. In this case, an angle of incidence of the irradiation light is set to be larger than a critical angle on an interface between a core portion of each optical fiber of the optical fiber bundle and the air. It is thereby possible to provide total reflection on the entrance surface in no contact with the concave portion of the subject, and non-total reflection on the entrance surface in contact with the convex portion of the subject, resulting in reflected light having a light pattern according to an irregular pattern. The resultant light pattern is inputted into photoelectric transforming means through the exit surface, and is transformed into electric information by the photoelectric transforming means.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an optical rotary encoder for detecting a position optically. In the optical rotary encoder of the invention, a light beam reflected by a half mirror enters a deflector, whereby it is reflected while being deflected in a certain direction. The reflected light beam again enters the half mirror. Transmitted light from the half mirror enters a position detector, in which a light spot is formed on an annular photodiode. The path of the reflected light from the deflector forms a cone having a vertical angle which is twice the angle of deflection of the deflector. The position detector is disposed perpendicularly to the optical axis of the reflected light in the case of the deflection angle being 0.degree. and with the center of the annular photodiode made coincident with the said optical axis. A suitable distance between the deflector and the photodiode is selected so that a light spot is radiated onto the photodiode. The position of the light spot formed on the annular photodiode is in a corresponding relation to a rotational angle of a rotating shaft. The position detector detects the position of the light spot to detect such rotational angle.
