This research was supported by the national research program, Project No. DPI2001-1238.The grating measurement systems can be used for displacement and angle measurements. They require of zero reference codes to obtain zero reference signals and absolute measures. The zero reference signals are obtained from the autocorrelation of two identical zero reference codes. The design of codes which generate optimum signals is rather complex, especially for larges codes. In this paper we present a global optimization method, a DIRECT algorithm for the design of zero reference codes. This method proves to be a powerful tool for solving this inverse problem.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1364/OPEX.13.000195http://www.opticsinfobase.orgopen access535Accurate AlignmentBar CodesSystemsÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
