DLP4500NIR: DLP4500NIR

Part Number: DLP4500NIR
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP2010

Hello, 

We need a Micromirror array system working for MID-IR range (5~12 um).  

1.  I know that DLP4500NIR works only for Near IR range. I guess that it is because you have a glass window on mirrors. Is that right?  

2. If I use DLP4500NIR for MID-IR beam, what is the most critical thing?  What is the reflectivity on the range?

It would be great if you suggest us any other options. 

Thank you,

  • Hi Yohan,
    Welcome to DLP forum and thank you for your interest in DLP technology.

    The DLP4500NIR and DLP2010 NIR DMD support wavelength from 700nm to 2500nm only.

    Ti does not offer a DMD for MID-IR range. The transmittance of DLP4500NIR DMD window will be very low for MID-IR wavelength.

    Unfortunately, I do not have any recommendation for you.

    regards,

  • Hi Vivek,

    Thanks for your comments.

    I expected that you do not have a DMD working for MID-IR range.

    Can you just make DMD without a glass window and inert gas if we request it?

    Or do you know how to replace the glass window on the micromirror arrays?

    Thank you in advance.

  • Hi Yohan,
    An DMD for MID-IR will be a complete new product development. It will be a significant investment and have long development cycle.

    Windows are integral part of DMD and can not be replaced.
