About this award
This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Nova Photonics Inc., a for-profit research and development company specializing in optics and photonics technologies. The $124,957 firm-fixed-price contract is for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I project focused on the development of a high-throughput, pushbroom imaging spectrometer for planetary science applications. The contract leverages programmable, two-dimensional coded apertures and fast-switching spatial light modulators to enable high-throughput, compressive hyperspectral imaging with operational flexibility. This innovative approach aims to achieve throughput enhancements of 50-100 times compared to traditional slit-based systems.
Description
We propose the use of programmable, two-dimensional (2D) coded apertures for high-throughput imaging spectroscopy. Spatially-varying, 2D, transmissive or reflective encoded mask, such as a hadamard or bernoulli random matrix, can be leveraged to realize high-throughput variants of many standard imaging spectroscopy techniques with throughput enhancements surpassing 50-100X compared to slit-based systems. In addition, recent advances in fast-switching spatial light modulators enable the reprogramming of mask encoding on the millisecond timescale. The combination these two technologies enables a wide array of potential innovations for hyperspectral imaging systems offering high-throughput, compressive measurement, with significant operational-flexibility. In this proposal, we target the application of these techniques to the development of a high-throughput, pushbroom imaging spectrometer for planetary science applications.
