This federal contract award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, is a $309,189.50 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The award is for the development of a gradient-index silicon lens with broad-band antireflection achieved through deep reactive ion etching. This lens technology is intended for use in future millimeter and submillimeter astronomy missions, particularly for observing primordial gravitational waves from inflation as imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The proposed work aims to address a technology gap identified in NASA's 2017 Physics of the Cosmos (PCOS) Annual Technology Report, which calls for optics with broad-spectrum antireflection to enable compact, multi-frequency instrument designs for space-based missions. This contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on February 1, 2023.
