Detecting rotation angle and stroke with effective use of space

For rotation angle and stroke (distance) detection, the "optical sensor" and "Hall sensor" configurations are often used. However, when using an optical sensor, there are restrictions on the arrangement due to the position between one LED (light source), lens, and light-receiving sensor each. And also when using a Hall sensor, the arrangement of the magnet and sensor is limited because the sensor's magnetic surface is unidirectional.
