Optical encoders.

In optical encoders, an LED emits light through a finely structured pulse disk or onto a structured reflector (maxon RIO encoders). The receiver, mounted on the motor shaft, converts the light/dark signals into electrical currents that are amplified and turned into electrical pulses by the corresponding electronics.
