ABSTRACT:
A linear or angular measuring system in which diffracted partial light beams are generated by way of partial fields which are offset with respect to each other, of which only the partial light beams of the resultant zero diffraction order are employed for signal formation. The partial light beams generated in this way are guided by direction selecting means to detectors assigned to them and converted into signals.
