Description

NP Photonics proposes to develop a new glass material exhibiting ultra-broad transmission bandwidth, high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance that can be used to make large aperture (>12 inch) and wide spectral band (0.5-5 micron) high energy laser beam director head windows.  In the Phase I program we will investigate the feasibility and study the risk to make the new glass material using our mature glass fabrication technology and design the anti-reflection coating.  In Phase II, the new glass material with specifications meeting or exceeding the Navy's requirements will be developed and characterized.
