Description
Ultra-narrow bandpass filters with high off-band rejection are needed to maximize signal to noise for free space communications. Omega Optical is developing NIR filters with less than 1 nm bandwidths, which are thermally stable, and provide high rejection of adjacent communication channels. This program will address advancing these filters from a technology readiness level (TRL) of 3 to TRL 5. Development focus will address the manufacturing, materials, and characterization issues needed for space qualification.
