Technical Documents

For applications requiring an array of digital micromirrors or a larger, single-element analog mirror, Texas Instruments’ MEMS technology offers reliable optical semiconductors for a broad range of light steering needs. DLP® Technology enables innovative development for optical processing and embedded systems, while TI Analog Mirrors can be used to precisely position and control light beams.

MEMS Devices

DLP® Technology   

DLP® technology offers development platforms and chipsets to enable innovative applications that incorporate light processing and light steering needs. The Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) is the MOEMS component at the heart of DLP technology and contains an array of micromirrors that can be used for spatial light modulation. This is the same DLP® technology that is known for its proven reliability, fast switching speed, and high contrast found in multiple projection applications.

Analog Mirrors   

TI uses MEMS technology to provide single-element analog mirrors designed for use in precision laser light steering applications. The combination of large, highly reflective surfaces and simple drive requirements make TI Analog Mirrors ideal choices for flexible system designs for scanning an infrared source within a laser print engine, sensing or projecting information in low power imaging or display devices, or picking out a wavelength in Wave Selectable Switching ROADMS and optical channel monitors.
