Enhanced Cargo Screening Analysis via Image-manifest Correlation
PSI has been awarded a research program from the US Department of Homeland Security to develop an air cargo screening software suite that automatically parses air cargo waybills and detects and localizes the reported cargo contents within X-ray images obtained during screening.
High Brightness Fiber-Coupled QCL Module
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Air Force to develop a compact quantum cascade laser (QCL) module that combines the outputs from seven high power mid-wave infrared QCLs using infrared fiber in a 7x1 fiber combiner configuration.
On-orbit Metrology System for Rigid Antenna Array Panels
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Space Force to develop the On-orbit Metrology system for Rigid Antenna array Panels (OMRAP), which uses a set of instrumented flexures to measure the out-of-plane deflections of large antenna arrays.
Thermoradiative energy harvesting and signal suppression with low-bandgap emitters
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Space Force to develop a novel thermoradiative cell to convert waste heat in space-based solar systems into useful electrical power that decreases the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of next-generation spacecraft.
Air-Cycle Cabin Cooling
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Army to develop a lightweight, low-cost cooling system that will replace the existing vapor-compression cycle with an air cycle machine.
Compressive Sensing Fourier Transform Spectrometer LIDAR
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a spectral compressive sensing LiDAR (SpeCS-LiDAR).
Metabolic Cytometry for In-line Process Analysis
Physical Sciences Inc (PSI), in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Lowell, has been awarded a program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a novel biomanufacturing process analytical technology tool that enables in-line, continuous measurement of the metabolism of host cells in bioreactors for the large-scale manufacturing of therapeutic viral vectors.
Volumetric Fiber-to-Chip Mode Converters
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a research program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a standard fiber to photonic chip connector based on gray-scale 3D printing.
Chiral Transient Grating Spectroscopy
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the U.S. Department of Energy to design a transient-grating-based time-resolved circular dichroism module for background-free, wavelength-agnostic investigations of material chirality.
Additively Manufactured Ceramic Foams for Structural Insulators
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a program from the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop a high temperature, ceramic syntactic foam that can be fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques.
High Power Ultra-violet Laser Beacon
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has received a program from the U.S. Space Force to design and develop an innovative, low SWaP, high-pulse energy, high-average power UV Rayleigh beacon.
