Abstract
A system comprises a micro-mirror device including a surface having a plurality of micro-mirrors movable to reflect light incident to the micro-mirrors in at least a first direction and a second direction, a control circuit configured to arrange the micro-mirrors to project a spatial image using the incident light and to generate spectral content for the formed spatial image, and a spectrometer circuit configured to extract spectral image information from the generated spectral content and provide the spectral image information to the control circuit. The spectral content includes light having one or more wavelengths outside a range of wavelengths for visible light, and the control circuit is configured to rearrange one or more micro-mirrors of the micro-mirror device to adjust spectral content based on the extracted spectral image information.
