Abstract: In an optical position measuring device for the interferential determination of the relative distance of two objects which are movable relative to each other in at least one measuring direction, a bundle of rays emitted by a light source is split up into at least two partial bundles of rays, which fall on a grating or a plurality of gratings on separate optical paths and undergo distance-dependent phase shifts as a result. The partial bundles of rays are superpositioned at a mixing grating, whereupon at least three pairs of interfering partial bundles of rays propagate in different directions in space. Via the mixing grating, each pair of interfering partial bundles of rays is focused on a detector element so that at least three position-dependent, phase-shifted incremental signals are detectable via the detector elements.

Abstract: An optical position-measuring device includes a scanning bar extending in a first or second direction, and a scale extending in the other direction. The scale is offset by a scanning distance from the scanning bar in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions. The device has a light source whose light penetrates the scanning bar at an intersection point of the scanning bar and scale to fall on the scale and arrive back at the scanning bar. At a detector, the light is split by diffraction into different partial beams at optically effective structures of the scanning bar and scale and combined again. A periodic signal is obtained in the detector in response to: a shift between the scanning bar and scale in the first direction due to interference of combined partial beams, and a change in the scanning distance between the scanning bar and scale.
