Completed TRL 5 (started at 3, targeting 5)
Reduce cost, footprint, mass and development risk compared to flight quality High Voltage Pulser- drivers.
Reduce the performance gap between COTS Electro-Optic drivers and flight quality units.
Design is easily adapted to accommodate most remote sensing space-based laser systems of similar performance.
Highly instrumented design allows in-situ measurements during life-testing for prediction of long term health
HVPD will be beneficial to any Laser that uses Q-Switch.
This design and associated GSE will allow more efficient life testing, resulting better prediction of long term higher reliability lower cost.
This design will also allow manufacturing design quicker and more flexible integration to active source systems.
Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — 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.
