Abstract: A sensor, method and integrated circuit for optically sensing the relative displacement of an object. The sensor may generate optical patterns of light and employ a multielement photodetector to detect the light and output corresponding analog signals proportional to the light detected. The sensor may achieve a sample rate that is orders of magnitude greater than conventional systems. The sensor may also achieve image resolution that is orders of magnitude greater than conventional systems. The sensor is useful for applications including the measurement of linear displacement and rotation, force, torque, or strain with respect to multiple degrees of freedom.
