Research abstract
Nova Photonics proposes to design, fabricate, and characterize an optical filter that will be tailored to submarine-laser communication. The filter will be tunable/reconfigurable to operate at a set of chosen wavelengths within the 450 nm to 550 nm range. It will feature a wide field-of-view and bandpass that are optimized to take advantage of solar dark bands and available laser technology. It will have a large aperture and high transmission. During the Phase II base period a single aperture filter will be developed. During the Phase II option a multi-aperture filter will be developed to maximize the packing fraction and available viewing area provided on the underwater platform.
