    An optical encoder is an electromechanical device that converts angular shaft position into a digital signal. It has a rotating disc with alternating opaque and transparent segments, and light emitting diodes and receivers that detect the disc's rotation and generate a digital signal proportional to the shaft's angular position. This signal is then amplified, converted to digital form, and transmitted to a data processor.

    OPTICAL ENCODER

    An optical encoder is an electromechanical device


    which has an electrical output in digital form
    proportional to the angular position of the input
    shaft.

    Optical encoders enable an angular displacement to


    be converted directly into a digital form.
    An optical encoder is an angular
    position sensor :
    It has a shaft mechanically coupled to an input driver which
    rotates a disc rigidly fixed to it. A succession of opaque and clear
    segments are marked on the surface of the disc.

    Light from infrared emitting diodes reaches the infrared


    receivers through the transparent slits of the rotating disc. An
    analogue signal is created.

    Then electronically, the signal is amplified and converted into


    digital form. This signal is then transmitted to the data processor.
