In an optical encoder comprising an optical scale in which a light transmission portion and a light non-transparent portion are arranged and an output pattern obtained by emitting an incident light functions as an optical code, a light source portion and a light detecting portion, the light non-transparent portion is constituted of at least one pair of inclined surfaces which are opposed in such a manner as to become farther away from each other towards the side where the incident light enters and set so that an incident angle of the optical axis of the incident light from the light source should not be smaller than a critical angle of incidence, and the light non-transparent portion is constructed so that the incident light which enters one inclined surface should be totally reflected thereon to enter the other inclined surface and then at least part of the incident light should be reflected on the other inclined surface, and a reflected light which is reflected on the other inclined surface should not enter a light emitting portion of the light source and a reflecting portion around the light emitting portion.

A photoelectric rotary encoder includes a light source that emits a light beam, a returning section that returns the emitted light beam to a direction opposite to an emitting direction of the beam, and a photodetector that is disposed on a substrate on which the light source is disposed and that detects the returned light beam via a disk having a detection pattern section. The photoelectric rotary encoder detects rotational displacement of the disk based on the detected returned light beam. In this photoelectric rotary encoder, an optical element that lets a stray beam component of the light beam from the light source escape via a side surface of the optical element, is disposed in front of the substrate on which the light source and the photodetector are disposed. The optical element covers the substrate and integrates the optical element and the substrate.

An optical encoder includes an incoherent light source; a first grating, which is an amplitude grating having a first grating period, for spatial amplitude modulation of the incoherent light from the light source; a second grating, which is a phase grating having a second grating period, for spatial phase modulation of light from the first grating; a third grating, which is an amplitude grating having a third grating period, for spatial amplitude modulation of light from the second grating; and a light detecting element for detecting lights from the third grating. The encoder detects relative displacement between the respective gratings. The optical transfer function from the light source to the light detecting element is enhanced, and the efficiency in utilizing light is improved.

A scale generates a periodic light-intensity distribution pattern having a pitch upon irradiation by emission light from a light source. Light-detecting element groups are shifted relative to the scale to generate phase signals having fixed phase differences. Light-detecting elements are adjacently positioned to have the same phase to form each light-detecting element group. Area centers of gravity on a phase axis of the light-detecting element groups having a fixed phase difference are made coincident with each other.

The present invention provides a magnetic rotational-angle detector capable of detecting a position and a rotational angle of a rotating member with excellent accuracy. The magnetic rotational-angle detector includes device arrays (51, 52) constituted by a plurality of magnetic sensor devices which are arranged to cancel the n-th order harmonic components by each other. In the device arrays, the magnetic sensor devices corresponding to each other are arranged such that they are spaced apart with a distance of (2m+1)λ, and the arrangement of all the magnetic sensor devices and their orientations with respect to a power-supply terminal and a ground terminal are axisymmetrical about a straight line (2b) passing through a barycenric position (59) of all the magnetic sensor devices which is positioned on a straight line along a radial direction of a rotating drum (1).
