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.
