MEMS-based Spectrographs: Advances on their Optical Design
4STScI Baltimore June 25, 2010
We, GOLEM (Gruppo Ottiche e LEnti Merate) are a small team of astronomers and engineers located in Merate
We works mainly for ground-based telescopes (e.g., the GRB shooter REM in La Silla, Chile) and focal plane instrumentation (e.g., X-shooter on ESO VLT in Paranal, Chile, again) for optical-to-NIR wavelengths
More recently, we were involved in space-based projects, like SPACE (now EUCLID)

MEMS-based Spectrographs: Advances on their Optical Design
8STScI Baltimore June 25, 2010
DMD principles - I
DMD micromirror can tilt (along its diagonal) by +/- 12 deg (in the Cinema DLP)
They correspond to two different states: On and Off
A third state (power off) exists, with a 0° angle

10STScI Baltimore June 25, 2010
DMD principles - III
Tilt happens along the diagonal of the micromirror, so a 45 deg rotation of the device is required to keep chief rays within a plane perpendicular to the DMD surface
