In a typical projector application, the luminous flux on the screen from the DMD depends on the optical design of the projector. The efficiency and total power of the illumination optical system and the projection optical system determine the overall light output of the projector. The DMD is inherently a linear spatial light modulator, so its efficiency just scales the light output. Figure 7-3 describes the relationship of laser input optical power to light output for a laser-phosphor illumination system, where the phosphor is not at its thermal quenching limit.
