Novel Metrology Concept for High Resolution Grazing Incidence Optics

Completed TRL 6 (started at 4, targeting 6)

Description

Because of recent advances in high resolution cameras and displays, and development of novel calibration methods, it is possible to substitute traditional interferometry with deflectometry for grazing incidence optics development

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — 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.
