Abstract

A fixed slit plate and a rotary slit plate which is secured to a rotating shaft are provided between two photoconductive elements and a light emitting element, and the two photoconductive elements provide two outputs which have the phase difference .pi. therebetween. These two outputs thus provided are added to extract the dc component, thereafter exerting feedback control over the light emitting element such that this dc component is maintained at a constant level.
