This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Biospherical Instruments, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in San Diego, California. The $737,551 firm fixed price contract is for the development and demonstration of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) multiwaveband sensor pair (radiance and irradiance) for airborne and shipboard sensing of ocean color in low-light conditions. The new "LOLUX" (Lowest Observable Light Upgraded Xtra Class Instruments) technology will pair ruggedized, miniature photomultiplier tubes with silicon photodetectors to create hybrid dynamic detectors with 14 decades of linear dynamic range. These advanced radiometers will enable high-quality optical data collection in low-light regimes, supporting improved calibration and validation for next-generation NASA satellite missions focused on turbid atmospheres and waters. The Phase II effort will advance the technology readiness level from 4 to 6.
