A micromirror array- based streak camera for multi-channel, multi-spectral LIDAR
David Benton, Senior research fellow, Aston University
Micromirror arrays have found extensive use as spatial light modulators in consumer electronics within digital projectors. An underused quality of these devices is the speed with which they switch between binary positions of -12 degrees and + 12 degrees. With a simple camera we can make use of the transition between states to access temporal dispersion resulting in a novel LIDAR concept. In addition, the diffractive nature of the device enables simultaneous spectral dispersion to be obtained making the LIDAR multispectral. The free space nature of the device further enables separate input channels to be imaged thus multiple independent multispectral LIDARs can be interrogated in parallel. In this talk multiple lasers of different wavelengths have been used to demonstrate all these concepts with a result of temporal resolution 5 orders of magnitude faster than the device operating timescales.
