In this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop a compact Raman fiber optic probe with inline spectral filtering that improves fiber-coupled Raman measurements by filtering out Raman scattering from the excitation fiber and elastically scattered laser light from the collection fibers. The technology will enable compact fiber probes for Raman studies i ...

To address the CBD’s need for real-time analytical technology for multicomponent vapor identification and quantification, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to continue the development of a new Photoacoustic Gasses Optical Detector and Analyzer (PAGODA) autonomous, network-enabled photoacoustic spectrometer (PAS) for the correlation, analysis, and identification of measured spectra. In t ...

A program to develop a compact, MLA-based, LWIR, full-motion-video hyperspectral imager for chemical detection is proposed. The proposed Hyperspectral Chemical Imaging Sensor (HyCIS) builds upon Surface Optics’ real-time hyperspectral imaging activities, including our 3D full-motion-video spectral imaging (FMV-SI) technology and our MIDIS hyperspectral image processor. Simultaneously sampling 16 ...

SA Photonics is please to submit the proposal for the HawkEye compact LWIR hyperspectral imaging system. HawkEye leverages SA Photonics previous visible, SWIR, and LWIR programs to result in a compact, hand held, battery operated hyperspectral imager in a low cost design approach. Furthermore, HawkEye will leverages SA Photonics expertise in warfighter body worn equipment and ground troop personal ...

A chemical threat agent mode of action is often initiated through a selective interaction with a biological molecule or structure. The binding event mimics normal cellular processes, but then overruns natural control mechanisms leading to toxic and lethal effects. The native binding specificity is used to design sensor recognition elements that outperform conventional antibody-based biosensors. Ou ...
