Аннотация:The paper considers optical linear encoder based on diffraction gratings. A method of quadrature signals phase
shift stabilization based on the application of head grating with specific structure is proposed. The optical scheme
of position encoder based on measuring head grating with specific structure is developed and described in this
paper. Mathematical modeling of quadrature signals phase shift depending on grating parameters is carried out.
Based on the simulation, we propose optimal parameters of head grating structure. Design process and results for
head gratings are presented in the paper.
Keywords: diffraction grating, optical linear encoder, displacement measurement, phase shift.
