Large Format Narrow Band High Throughput Optical Filters for 0.5-2.7µ, Phase I

Completed

Benefits

Unique properties of volume diffractive gratings in PTR glass can be uses for such NASA-based applications as high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy, free-space optical communications (range finding, targeting, remote sensing, etc.), spectral sensing, LIDARs, LADARs, etc.

How to get involved

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.
