About the company
Optasense Inc. is a foreign-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business specializing in fiber optic sensing solutions, based in Houston, Texas. As a subsidiary of Luna Innovations Incorporated, the company provides advanced technological solutions primarily in the fields of sensing and measurement systems. Through federal contract and grant awards, Optasense Inc. has demonstrated expertise in developing sophisticated fiber optic sensing technologies, laser systems, and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) interrogators for scientific and research applications.
In its federal contract work, Optasense Inc. has primarily engaged with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), receiving multiple purchase orders for specialized seismic monitoring equipment. These contracts, ranging from $75,000 to $320,941, have focused on providing fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing interrogator systems designed to monitor seismic activity along the Pacific Coast. The contracts were typically firm fixed-price purchase orders with no specific set-aside designations, though the company is classified as a small disadvantaged business. Notable contract deliverables include a DAS interrogator for the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system, capable of simultaneously monitoring multiple submarine fiber optic cables, and a Low Relative Intensity Noise 2-Watt Continuous Wave Laser system for the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Communications Technology Laboratory.
In the realm of federal grant awards, Optasense Inc. has participated as a sub-grantee, specifically in a collaborative research project with the California Institute of Technology. The sub-grant, awarded on December 9, 2020, was related to an EAGER (Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research) program focused on pilot fiber seismic networks at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. This grant work demonstrates the company's involvement in cutting-edge scientific research, extending its fiber optic sensing capabilities to extreme environmental contexts like Antarctic research stations, and highlighting its ability to contribute to scientific innovations in geophysical monitoring and sensing technologies.
