Abstract A Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) is a technology developed by Texas Instruments, that consists in two-dimensional array of micromirrors, which can be individually tilted between two positions. It has been used as digital video and image processing solution, commonly found Light Processing (DLP) projectors. Over the years, DMDs have become popular different fields: industrial, automot...

We describe the design and development of an adaptive spectrometer that actively manages dynamic range mismatch between source signals and the spectrometer's detector. The introduction of an inexpensive digital micromirror array yields performance improvements compared to a traditional device. Simulation results are presented that indicate real-world scenarios in which the adaptive spectrometer...

Micromirrors fabricated by MEMS technology have demonstrated to be important sensing or actuating components in many industrial and biomedical applications such as laser scanning displays, optical switch matrices, and biomedical imaging systems. In this paper, various actuation mechanisms for micromirrors are described. A new geometric configuration of a stacked micromirror that is actuated by ...
