projection systems for commercial and consumer applications. The DMD is also an attractive Spatial Light Modulator for applications that may use monochromatic and/or coherent light sources both inside and outside of the visible spectrum. The DLP The DMD presents some unique advantages and considerations that must be understood for these applications particularly when using coherent or semi-coherent sources with the DMD. When used with such sources the fact that the DMD is a 2D array of periodically spaced mirrors cannot be ignored, rather the diffractive effects can be understood and even exploited. The purpose of this paper is to present an intuitive understanding of the 2D diffraction properties of the DMD and the advantages and challenges that result. Understanding Diffraction – an intuitive view Single Slit Diffraction. To begin our journey lets consider diffraction from a single slit. We will assume that the length of the slit is much larger than the height “a” of the slit so that the dimension along the slit is not considered. We will also assume that the distance “D” to the “screen” is very much larger than the slit width. If the incident light is a monochromatic plane wave then there will be some angles in which the overall light from the slit will constructively interfere and others that will destructively interfere giving rise to light and dark bands on the screen.* The following link has a great illustration: Single- Slit Diffraction. Now let us replace the flat screen with a cylindrical screen centered on the slit and let the distance to the screen be “R”, the radius of the semicircle. Then for every angle to the screen we can project back to the plane of the slit such that we can now map every * If we take the normal to the plane of the slit opening (also normal to the screen) as 0 degrees and the center of the slit as the origin, then the intensity at the screen will be proportional to   2 sin( ) sin sin( )         U U .

The reflective nature of our device allows large amounts of light energy to be modulated with a modicum absorbed by the device. 另外，在使用 DMD 和相干光时还有一些源于衍射本质的特殊考虑因素： • 对于给定的波长和像素间距，衍射级仅由入射角固定于方向空间（反射镜的开关切换不会使其移动）。 • 衍射级的光强包络由反射镜的形状（对于 DMD 而言是正方形）决定，因而无法在不影响所有其他衍射 级的情况下任意地对个别衍射级进行消光。 结论 DLP® DMD 是一种富有
