TI DLP® Near-Infrared (NIR)
Exceptional performance for optical sensing and high-power industrial imaging applications
Near-infrared (NIR) products are optimized for 700 to 2500 nm. DLP chipsets can control high power NIR lasers to enable printing, marking and selective laser sintering (SLS) additive manufacturing. DLP chipsets enable NIR spectroscopy with high signal-to-noise ratio and programmable wavelength selection enabling single sensor designs. DLP chipsets support non-contact 3D scanning with NIR structured light patterns.
