Widely Tunable Semiconductor Laser at 1650nm for Greenhouse Gas LIDAR Detection

In this program, Freedom Photonics is developing a low cost, semiconductor based widely tunable laser for multiple green gas detection. This laser source can be used in different LIDAR applications, or in any gas sensing scheme using spectroscopy.

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
