Hello,
My research group is looking at new applications for DMDs in physics, as an analysis tool for optical diagnostics. To progress, we require a comprehensive model of the effect of the DMD on the complete optical system and its PSF.
I am asking the forum whether any member can advise me on existing DMD optical software models. Our group uses ZEMAX OpticStudio for optical modelling, and this package does contain a DMD (MEMS object) model. Unfortunately this model is not a full functional description of DMD properties, because it cannot account for diffraction (it is however adequate when simple ray optics is sufficient).
I would be interested in hearing of any DMD simulations whether in ZEMAX or in other codes; there are techniques for embedding user-defined code into ZEMAX to describe the behaviour of new objects within an optical beam-line.
Many thanks.
