Canceled TRL 4 (started at 4, targeting 4)
Develop high reflectance low-loss planar dielectric coatings for the mid to far infrared (25um to 65um) wavelength range for enhanced performance of optical components at cryogenic temperatures. Assemble and test silicon etalon.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.
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.
