Public award description
FUTURE NASA FLIGHT MISSIONS ARE CONSIDERING PASSIVE WAVEFRONT AND AMPLITUDE CONTROL IN ASTRONOMICAL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS THE SEARCH FOR EXO-PLANETS. NASA'S DISCOVERY MISSION PROPOSAL CALLED OUT THE NEED FOR A COHERENT 2-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY OF FIBER BUNDLES FOR THIS APPLICATION. IN THIS SBIR PROPOSAL WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP MONOLITHIC POLARIZATION MAINTAINING (PM) COHERENT FIBER BUNDLE ARRAYS CONSISTING OF 1,600 FIBERS WITH CORE-TO-CORE SPACING OF 80 MICRON WITH PLACEMENT ACCURACY OF<2 MICRON. IN PHASE I WE WILL DESIGN AND DEVELOP SPECIALTY GLASSES AND FIBERS AND DEMONSTRATE A 2D ARRAY WITH 16 CORES TO PROVE THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS PROPOSAL.
