This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, supports the development of a sub-Kelvin testbed system to characterize prototype on-chip far-infrared integrated spectrometers. The $497,849 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will enable the awardee, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), to design, fabricate, commission, and utilize this specialized testbed to advance the capabilities of next-generation far-infrared spectroscopy technologies. This research aims to reduce the size and cost of the spectrometers needed for future astrophysics missions, while also providing hands-on training opportunities for students in quantum information science and technology. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
