OSC has developed a second configuration of the DMD-based multi-spectral projector called
the Dynamic Sensor Test Set (DSTS). The DSTS consists of a single customized DMD, three
illumination sources, relay optics, a standard test collimator, and custom drive electronics.
The DMD was modified for use in the IR, visible, and UV by replacing the standard window with
a BaF2 window. The DSTS may be configured with most standard COTS collimators.
This system is designed for automated high speed testing of visible and IR sensors.
The DSTS is designed to replace the static target plates and choppers used on industry-standard
test collimators. The DSTS is capable of performing standard tests such as MTF, MRTD, and NEDT
at very high speed, as well as advanced dynamic tests such as seeker tracking and correlation.
The DSTS is a dynamic scene projector which can be operated in binary or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode. Applications
of the projector include any sensor test application which currently uses static test plates,
but needs higher speed or dynamic scene capability.
Papers previously published by OSC on the DMD-based test set systems are available for download
here.
Additional technical specification sheets are available for download

DSTS System Control Software
Optical Sciences Corporation provides custom System Control Software (SCS) for the operation
of the DSTS. The software provides automated control of the DSTS. OSC engineers can also
provide the necessary support to all user-development of custom software in the control of the DSTS.
The DSTS SCS may be optionally configured to control the acquistion of test from the UUT using
a COTS frame-grabber board.
