From the Renishaw <a href="https://www.renishaw.com/en/how-optical-encoders-work--36979">website</a>:
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
<blockquote>
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
The VIONiC encoder features the third generation of Renishaw’s unique filtering optics that average the contributions from many scale periods and effectively filter out non-periodic features such as dirt.
 | 
						|
The nominally square-wave scale pattern is also filtered to leave a pure sinusoidal fringe field at the detector.
 | 
						|
Here, a multiple finger structure is employed, fine enough to produce photocurrents in the form of four symmetrically phased signals.
 | 
						|
These are combined to remove DC components and produce sine and cosine signal outputs with high spectral purity and low offset while maintaining <b>bandwidth to beyond 500 kHz</b>.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
Fully integrated advanced dynamic signal conditioning, Auto Gain , Auto Balance and Auto Offset Controls combine to ensure <b>ultra-low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE) of typically</b> \(<\pm 15\, nm\).
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
This evolution of filtering optics, combined with carefully-selected electronics, provide incremental signals with wide bandwidth achieving a maximum speed of 12 m/s with the lowest positional jitter (noise) of any encoder in its class.
 | 
						|
Interpolation is within the readhead, with fine resolution versions being further augmented by additional noise-reducing electronics to achieve <b>jitter of just 1.6 nm RMS</b>.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
</blockquote>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
The expected interpolation errors (non-linearity) is shown in Figure <a href="#org35c5a3c">2</a>.

The Encoder is characterized by its dynamics \(G_m(s)\) from the “true” displacement \(y\) to measured displacement \(y_m\).
 | 
						|
Ideally, this dynamics is constant over a wide frequency band with very small phase drop.
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>
 | 
						|
It is also characterized by its measurement noise \(n\) that can be described by its Power Spectral Density (PSD) \(\Gamma_n(\omega)\).
 | 
						|
</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>

To measure the noise \(n\) of the encoder, one can rigidly fix the head and the ruler together such that no motion should be measured.
 |

Then, the measured signal \(y_m\) corresponds to the noise \(n\).

In order to measure the linearity, we have to compare the measured displacement with a reference sensor with a known linearity.
 | 
						|
An interferometer or capacitive sensor should work fine.
 | 
						|
An actuator should also be there so impose a displacement.

One idea is to use the test-bench shown in Figure <a href="#orge0a809b">10</a>.

The APA300ML is used to excite the mass in a broad bandwidth.
 | 
						|
The motion is measured at the same time by the Vionic Encoder and by an interferometer (most likely an Attocube).

As the interferometer has a very large bandwidth, we should be able to estimate the bandwidth of the encoder if it is less than the Nyquist frequency that can be around 10kHz.
