    Abstract: An optical encoder system includes a module that has a light emitting element and a light detecting element, wherein the light detecting element is operable to detect light at a wavelength emitted by the light emitting element. The optical encoder system also includes a code wheel that has facets on its surface. Each facet has a surface that provides diffuse reflectance, with adjacent facets being inclined by different amounts. The code wheel can be disposed with respect to the module so that at least some light emitted by the light emitting element is reflected by the facets back toward the module, wherein an amount of reflected light detected by the light detecting element in the module depends at least in part on the rotational position of the code wheel.

    Abstract: Calibrating a spectrometer module includes performing measurements using the spectrometer module to generate wavelength-versus-operating parameter calibration data for the spectrometer module, performing measurements using the spectrometer module to generate optical crosstalk and dark noise calibration data for the spectrometer module, and performing measurements using the spectrometer module to generate full system response calibration data, against a known reflectivity standard, for the spectrometer module. The method further includes storing in memory, coupled to the spectrometer module, a calibration record that incorporates the wavelength-versus-operating parameter calibration data, the optical crosstalk and dark noise calibration data, and the full system response calibration data, and applying the calibration record to measurements by the spectrometer module.
