Abstract

Infrared scene simulator is now widely used to simulate infrared scene practicality in the laboratory, which can greatly reduce the research cost of the optical electrical system and offer economical experiment environment. With the advantage of large dynamic range and high spatial resolution, dynamic infrared projection technology, which is the key part of the infrared scene simulator, based on digital micro-mirror device (DMD) has been rapidly developed and widely applied in recent years. In this paper, the principle of the digital micro-mirror device is briefly introduced and the characteristics of the DLP (Digital Light Procession) system based on digital micromirror device (DMD) are analyzed. The projection system worked at 8~12μm with 1024×768 pixel DMD is designed by ZEMAX. The MTF curve is close to the diffraction limited curve and the radius of the spot diagram is smaller than that of the airy disk. The result indicates that the system meets the design requirements.
