RAR nano-textured fused silica optics with multi-gigashot stability

This Project Grant award of $199,985.00 from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports research and development by Telaztec LLC into robust nano-textured fused silica optics with multi-gigashot stability for laser applications. Telaztec, a for-profit limited liability company, has expertise in high precision nanoscale optical fabrication and coatings, and has previously received Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards from the Department of the Air Force and Navy for related research on antireflective laser coatings and optical filters. The current DOE award enables Telaztec to advance its core competencies in this area, with a focus on developing nano-textured fused silica optics suitable for high-energy laser systems. The project is scheduled for completion by April 9, 2024.
