ABSTRACT:
A phase plate adapted for use with an optical sensor module for an inkjet printer/plotter equipped with a photodetector to sense a test pattern having a plurality of horizontally spaced bars or vertically spaced bars and a photodetector. The inventive phase plate is in optical alignment with the photodetector and is constructed of opaque material. The phase plate includes a plurality of apertures horizontally spaced therein. The spacing between the apertures is equal to the spacing between the horizontally spaced bars in said test pattern. In the alternative, the plate may include a plurality of apertures vertically spaced therein. In this case, the spacing between the apertures is equal to the spacing between the vertically spaced bars in the test pattern. In a particular implementation, the phase plate includes both horizontally spaced apertures and vertically spaced apertures. In this case, the horizontal spacing between the apertures is equal to the spacing between the horizontally spaced bars in the test pattern and the spacing between the vertically spaced apertures is equal to the spacing between the vertically spaced bars in the test pattern.
