Abstract

See full text

The present invention concerns an arrangement for reading an optically readable light reflective carrier on which data is stored in form of diffractive elements which are deviations from a reference surface. The data elements each have a plurality of adjacent tracks located on the carrier with data elements being positioned on adjacent tracks. The system utilizes an illumination system for projecting a concentrated light spot onto the carrier along a track wherein the diffraction is such that the light emerging from the diffractive track has a spatial distribution representing an amount of track misregistration between the spot and the axis of the track.
