System-level Optical Models of 3-D Laser Projection Systems using Micromirror Arrays
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the development of system-level optical models that can be used e.g. for simulating entire laser projection systems is presented. After a short motivation ray optics as the simplest theory of optics is introduced. For the general case of tracing non-meridional rays in 3-D space the vector forms of the law of refraction and the law of reflection are provided, which lend themselves especially to implementation in math tools. The more advanced concept of beam optics is presented then. The simulation results obtained with the implemented models are provided and compared to the behavior of the real-world panoramic projector.

In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Wavefront Control Using Micromirror Arrays
Silicon deformable mirrors have the potential to modulate spatial and temporal features of an optical wavefront. This capability is critical for systems in which aberrations affect optical beam quality, including many applications in laser communication, medical imaging, astronomy, and target tracking. The main goal of the work presented here was to design, build, and test a 1024 actuator wavef...

Ultra-high resolution projectors will improve the visual systems of military flight simulators dramatically. There are changes in aspect angle and aspect rate which fixed-wing fighter pilots can discriminate at long standoff distances, but which cannot be displayed with adequate resolution by the visual systems of contemporary flight simulators. At present the limit of display resolution is fix...
متن کاملImaging with two-axis micromirrors
We demonstrate a means of creating a digital image by using a two axis tilt micromirror to scan a scene. For each different orientation we extract a single grayscale value from the mirror and combine them to form a single composite image. This allows one to choose the distribution of the samples, and so in principle a variable resolution image could be created. We demonstrate this ability to co...
