The contract, valued at $124,936.00, is for the development of a gated, picosecond, digital holography system to characterize dense particle fields in high-pressure combustion environments. This solution aims to address the limitations of existing imaging methods in providing high-resolution, 3D imaging through...
This is a SBIR Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Metrolaser, Incorporated, a small business, for the development of a suite of laser-based diagnostics to measure velocity and temperature simultaneously in high enthalpy flows relevant to reentry flight. The $124,955 firm-fixed-price contract covers the first phase of the project, which aims to determine the best technique for measuring in highly dissociated regions near the stagnation point,...
This federal contract award to Metrolaser, Incorporated, a minority-owned small business, is for the development of a suite of pulsed laser diagnostics to study aspects of planetary entry and Earth atmospheric reentry in arc jets. The key diagnostic techniques include Rayleigh scattering polarimetry, thermal acoustic wave thermometry, and radar resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization. The contract, valued at $749,985.00, is a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II award focused on...
This federal contract award to Metrolaser, Incorporated, a small business, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the development of three diagnostic methods for measuring properties of interest in the post-shock regions of a hypersonic bow shock wave. The diagnostic techniques include using laser Rayleigh scattering to measure shock location, beam deflection via Schlieren effects to measure shock velocity, and Thomson scattering to measure electron...
The U.S. government has awarded a $156,419.00 fixed-price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Metrolaser, Incorporated, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business in Laguna Hills, California. The contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, is for the development of a non-intrusive diagnostic system using high-speed digital holography to analyze ejecta clouds from plume-surface interactions. As a total small...
Metrolaser, Incorporated has been awarded a firm fixed price purchase order valued at one hundred fifty-six thousand four hundred sixty-four dollars by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to deliver a two-color heterodyne interferometry sensor for direct, high-speed electron density measurements under the agency's Fiscal Year 2023 Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase I solicitation. Performance will occur in Laguna Hills, California over a...
