    摘要: A device for detecting the positional relationship between first and second objects in a predetermined direction includes a light source for emitting light in a direction to the first or second object, and a first detecting portion for detecting the position of incidence of a first light deflected by the first and second objects, wherein the position of incidence of the first light upon the first detecting portion is changeable with a change in the positional relationship between the first and second objects in the predetermined direction. A second detecting portion detects the position of incidence of a second light deflected by at least one of the first and second objects, wherein the state of the position of incidence of the second light resulting from a change in the positional relationship between the first and second objects, in the predetermined direction differs from that of the first light. On the basis of the detection by the first and second detecting portions, the positional relationship between the first and second objects is detected without being affected by an inclination thereof.

    摘要: A position detector includes a diffraction grating provided on the surface of an object, an illumination system for illuminating the diffraction grating, a detection system for detecting diffracted light diffracted from the diffraction grating, and a processing system for detecting positional information relating to the object. The illumination system emits a first pair of beams which are diffracted by the diffraction grating and interfere with each other, and emits a second pair of beams which are diffracted by the diffraction grating and also interfere with each other. The first pair of beams are incident upon the diffraction grating along a plane extending in a first direction in which the diffraction grating extends. The second pair of beams are incident upon the diffraction grating along a plane extending in a second direction in which the diffraction grating extends. The first and second directions are different from a grating line direction. The detection system detects the interfering light and generates first and second beat signals therefrom. The processing system detects positional information with respect to the first direction from the phase state of the first beat signal and with respect to the second direction from the phase state of the second beat signal.
