Diffused reflection type

• The light source (LD: Laser Diode) and PSD (Position sensitive detectors) are placed in one body. The laser beam is reflected by the surface (pa-per, plastic, metal, etc) that is in mo-tion

Direct reflection type

• The light source (LD) and PSD are placed in one body. The laser beam is reflected by the mirror attached to the moving surface
