Abstract

See full text

Determining information about a degree of freedom of rigid body motion of an encoder scale includes: directing a first beam toward an encoder scale, in which the first beam diffracts from an encoder scale; combining a diffracted component of the first beam with a second beam to form an interfering output beam; monitoring changes in the output beam as a function of a wavelength of the first and second beams; and determining the information about a degree of freedom of rigid body motion of the encoder scale based on changes in the output beam as a function of the wavelength.
