ABSTRACT:
A light source which emits light in strips is provided for illuminating a scale of a photoelectric position measuring system. The light modulated by the scale is converted into a sinusoidal scanning signal by a scanning plate. The scanning plate is a semiconductor substrate structured in strips. The width (A) of the light-emitting areas and the width (B) of the interspersed non-emitting areas of the light source is such that defined harmonics are filtered out of the scanning signal. The scanning plate is of such configuration that further harmonics are suppressed.
