Hi,
We are hoping to use a DLP to control the spatial profile of a high power, short-pulse laser. However, the tilt of the pixels causes both diffraction losses and pulse-front tilt. The second issue is actually the more serious; the pulse front tilt (~10ps/cm) can be several times longer than the initial laser pulse length.
I know that it's currently not possible to have the DLP operate with some pixels flat ("floated") and others tilted, but I'm wondering if it's possible to modify the device to make this mode possible? I realize this probably requires hardware changes, but since it's looking like it might be a deal-breaker for our application I thought I'd check to see. Thanks!
