I am displaying only constant solid red at full intensity (R=255, G=0, B=0) over the whole image.
What is the pulse profile (frequency and duty cycle) of a single pixel in the image?
How does it change at lower light intensities, eg 1/2 red (R=127, G=0, B=0)?
I would appreciate links to any documents explaining the mirror switching timings, in relation to the multiplexing of different coloured LEDs and the PWM of different intensities.
Background
----------------
I am an engineer working in a biology lab where we are using a projector to stimulate opto-genetic neurons, meaning we can activate or disable a neuron by shining coloured light on it (cool huh?). Since neurons may behave differently to a pulsed light source compared to a constant light source, I need to know the characteristics of the emitted projector light.
Ideally I would like to know the exact pulse profile of the emitted red light, but if I have not provided enough information to get an exact answer, I would still like to know what order the pulse frequency is likely to be so that I can assess whether it is relevant in the timescale of neuronal activity.
