DLP NIRscan Evaluation Module Overview

1.1 Introduction

The DLP®NIRscan™ EVM is a complete evaluation module (EVM) to design a high performance,

affordable near-infrared spectrometer. This flexible tool contains everything a designer needs to start

developing a DLP-based spectrometer right out of the box. The EVM features the DLP 0.45 WXGA NIR

chipset. It is the first DLP chipset optimized for use with near-infrared (NIR) light. With DLP technology,

spectrometers for use in the food, pharmaceutical, oil and gas and other emerging industries are able to

deliver lab performance levels in the factory and the field. This technology brings together a set of

components providing an efficient and compelling spectroscopy system solution for:

• Process analyzers

• Laboratory equipment

• Dedicated analyzers

The new DLP4500NIR DMD is optimized for operation at wavelengths between 700 nm and 2500 nm. The

DLP NIRscan EVM is one possible implementation of this new DLP technology, operating from 1350 nm

to 2450 nm.

1.2 What is in the DLP NIRscan EVM?

The DLP NIRscan EVM is a complete NIR spectrometer EVM using DLP technology. The EVM package

includes:

• Near infrared optomechanical spectrometer engine:

– Transmissive sample holder with broadband visible-to-infrared tungsten-halogen lamp

– 25-µm input slit

– Collimating lenses

– 1300 to 2500 nm bandpass filter

– Reflective diffraction grating

– Focusing lens

– DLP4500NIR DMD (.45-inch WXGA, 912 × 1140 diamond pixels, NIR optimized)

– Collection optics

– 2-mm single-pixel, cooled InGaAs detector

• Electronics subsystem with the electronics consisting of five boards:

– Spectro board

• DLPC350 controller ASIC

• Sitara™ processor (AM3358) for system control and analysis

• Power management circuits

• Connectivity through Ethernet and USB

• Non-volatile eMMC flash memory

• Micro SD card slot for external programming

• Open source Linux web-server application software

– Detector board

• 2-mm, single-pixel cooled InGaAs detector with TEC and thermistor

• Low-noise differential amplifier circuit

DLP NIRscan Evaluation Module Overview

1.2.1 Optical Engine

The DLP NIRscan EVM spectrometer optical engine is mounted on top of a thermal plate which acts as a

stable platform for mounting the optics. The configuration is a post-dispersive architecture where the

broadband light from the tungsten lamp is directed through a transmissive sample. In this specific

implementation, the lamp or sample holder module allows insertion of standard cuvettes. These cuvettes

are designed to hold liquid samples. There is also a slit in the sample holder, which allows insertion of

various thickness NIR transmissive samples such as plastic sheets and coated glass.

Each sample passes (and absorb) a specific amount of NIR light through the sample. The amount passed

(and absorbed) depends on the molecular makeup of the material, and is specific to that material, similar

to a fingerprint. The light which passes through the sample enters the engine through the input slit. Slit

size is relative to the desired wavelength resolution of the spectrometer. This spectrometer uses a 25-µm

wide slit, which is approximately 4.2-mm tall. After light passes through the slit, the light then passes

through a collimating lens, through a 1350- to 2450-nm bandpass filter where the light then strikes a

reflective grating. This grating, in combination with the focusing lens, disperses the NIR wavelengths

across the DLP4500NIR DMD in a horizontal fashion, with 1350 nm projected to one side of the DMD,

2450 nm to the other end, and all wavelengths dispersed between. When specific DMD columns are

selected as 'on', or tilted to the +12º position, the energy reflected by the selected columns diverts through

the collection optics to the single pixel detector. All other DMD columns which are not selected as 'on' are

by default 'off' (tilted to the –12º position). 'Off' DMD pixels divert the unselected wavelengths away from

the detector optical path so as not to interfere with the selected wavelength measurement.

The DLP NIRscan EVM size is mostly driven by the size of the optical engine and measures

approximately 197-mm long, 112-mm wide, and 96-mm tall.
