An incremental encoder is a pulse generator that provides square-wave signals and a zero index.
The disc has 2 channels divided into "n" equal angular intervals; alternately opaque and clear. "n" is called resolution or number of counts.
Pulses counted by the processing electronics give the angular position of the rotor. For this purpose 2 squarewaves A and B are used with a third channel, Z, synchronous with signals A and B giving only one signal per revolution. It allows the user to initialize or reset the count.

Why another concept ?
This concept has been developed to compensate for the performance limitations of incremental encoders :
- need for initialization
- must be re-zeroed after a power interruption: zero reset to obtain the mechanism angular position
- sensitivity to the interference
The absolute encoder supplies the shaft position as a binary code.
The output code is unique for each position. The resolution is equal to 2n (n= number of bit).
The shaft position information is given instantly when power is supplied.
There are two different types of absolute optical encoders :
- Single turn absolute optical encoder -> gives the absolute angular position over 360° rotation.
- Multiturn absolute encoder -> a system of additional shafts and discs which allows the number of revolutions to be counted.
The complete cycle is realized by « m » shaft rotations. The total resolution is equal to m x n (m=number of revolutions, n=number of counts per revolution).

What is an absolute encoder?
An absolute optical encoder is a type of rotary encoder. The optical disk is designed to produce a digital word which distinguishes N distinct positions of the shaft. Common types of numerical encoding used in the absolute encoder include gray and binary codes. http://www.motioncontrolguide.com/learn/guides/encoders-guide/

What is The resolution of 8 bit optical encoder?
28 = 256, so an 8 bit encoder would have a resolution of one part in 256, or 0.39%.
How does shaft encoder work?

How does light behave to make rotary encoder work?
A rotary encoder consists of three main parts: light source, optical encoder disc and light sensors. The light source provides the light source to several light sensors. There is an optical encoder disc that selectively blocks light from light source to light sensor. If the light sensor is receiving light, it is first state of electronic circuit. If the light from light source to the sensor is blocked by optical encoder, then sensor is not receiving light and this is second state of sensor output. Therefore, each sensor has two ouputs possible, high or low. Output from one sensor is called a "bit" so for 4 sensors, it is 4 bit output. The light encoder disc is a plastic disc with some area opaque and other areas transparent. Depending upon its rotating position, it passes light to some sensors and blocks light to other remaining sensors. The combination of states of multiple light sensors at a given time due to a certain rotary position of rotary encoder disc is the multi-bit output of that rotary encoder. This multi-bit logic output is used to sense the position, direction of rotation and rotating speed of the rotary encoder. You can read more about rotary encoders at the links given.
