DLP7000: Is it possible to illuminate 810 nm beam >1 W to DLP 7000?

Part Number: DLP7000

Hi. I'm a newbie for DMD and I'm about to purchase Discovery 4100 with DMD DLP7000.

I've checked the spec sheet of DLP7000 and its Q&A in this forum here and I'm still confused about the incident power.

In the datasheet, the power of light over 700 nm is 10mW/cm^2. And it means I cannot illuminate 810 nm beam with 1 W and the beam radius of 2 mm to DLP7000?

I prefered this model because of the high switching rate.

Thanks for your short reply.

  • Hello Minhyuk,

    The data sheet specifications are the terms of warranty for TI parts.  This means that operation outside of these specifications will not be covered by warranty.  Nor do we make an representations on whether the transmission and optical efficiency will be what you need.

    We cannot recommend that you operate outside of these specifications, but if you are willing to assume the risks then that is up to you. 

    Observing thermal specifications is very important, if you do proceed.
