This SBIR Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Omega Optics, Inc., a minority-owned small business located in Austin, Texas. The $125,000 contract is for the research and development of a slow light enhanced on-chip Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) array covering a broad infrared wavelength range. This novel FTS design aims to enable compact, robust, and high-resolution greenhouse gas monitoring capabilities suitable for geostationary satellite platforms, overcoming limitations of conventional FTS instruments. The contract is set aside for small businesses and supports NASA's efforts to advance remote sensing technologies for environmental and climate research.
