o

Demonstrated at UMER (also at CERN & SPEAR3)DMD mask separates ‘halo’ from ‘core’ images

DMD Applications (2)Optical DMD Interferometry

Experimental Setup for Synchrotron Radiation Interferometrybased on a rotating double-pinhole mask

14/06/2018 InnoAdo

DMD Applications (1)

ODI will replace the pinhole system with a DMD mask→ significantly simplify the measurement and reduce scan times

DMD Applications (3)Optical Phase-Space Mapping (OPSM)

Experimental Setup using OTR and mask- scanning pinhole has been used

14/06/2018 InnoAdo

TO COMPLETE

OPSM possible with DMD mask replacing the pinhole→ change size, shape & position – single-shot measurement feasible

DMD Modelling (1)using inbuilt ZOS objects

Micro-ElectroMechanical System (MEMS), scaled to actual DMD size

Structure of individual micromirrors

14/06/2018 InnoAdo

• DMD modelled as MEMS Array Object

• Works with rays but does not model diffraction

• Incident and reflection angles α′and β′ satisfy the grating equation:sin(α′)+sin(β′)=mλ/d with β′=2θ′−α′

• In general we can calculate m=2d/λ(sin(α′)+sin(β′))

• If m is close to an integer, we have the ‘blazing condition’

DMD Modelling (2)including diffractive physics

Grating Theory

To be implemented as a customised code module in ZOS, for the general case applicable to all states of the DMD

Business Planning (1)Market Research

• Focus on 50 Light Sources (DLS, Soleil, …)• 25% uptake → 5-10 units (5 years) → £1M - £3M• Light Sources

• Large user community, common requirements• Loss of beam → Financial consequences• Lifetime 5-10 years → Ongoing revenue

14/06/2018 InnoAdo

Initial Market

Commercial DMD-based product does not yet exist

Expansion Potential• 35,000 accelerators worldwide

• Industry & Accelerator manufacturers

Business Planning (2)Costings

• Estimate build cost of DMD-based system £10k-15kdepending on application – based on quotes, OEM parts etc.

• Rival system developed in-house - as PhD project @ ~£15k pa or a PDRA @ ~£30k-40k pa (no overheads/hardware)

• Products based on alternative methods ~£10k to ~£20k

At a conservative 10-20% profit on a single DMD-based system• DMD-based product potentially at a lower price point than

existing products (without the development costs), and• Provides superior performance in speed, resolution, dynamic

range, with significantly simplified setup

14/06/2018 InnoAdo

Elevates DMD System to market-leading status

Business Planning (3)IP Position

• Business Gateway team (UoL) will map the IP landscape

• Investigate and quantify protectable IP including: • software controlling the DMD system and data analysis;

• DMD masks;

• general knowledge required to build & operate a system

• Underpinning studies by members of proposer’s group• specific skills and techniques lie within the group

• IP will be licensed to D-Beam• allow commercialization of DMD implementations
