Next-Generation Metrology for Large Aspheric Optics Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Topic No.: N152-106 Topic Title: Next-Generation Metrology for Large Aspheric Optics Proposal No.: N152-106-0619 Firm: Bridger Photonics, Inc 2310 University Way, Bldg 4-4 Bozeman, Montana 59715 Contact: Jason Brasseur Phone: (406) 585-2774 Abstract: Bridger Photonics proposes developing a disruptive metrology probe capable of achieving 1 kHz update rates and measurement ranges exceeding 10 cm. This probe will be coupled with OptiPro Systems' 5-axis air-bearing UltraSurf stage to provide optical figure and transmitted wavefront error of large aspheric optics including conformal windows, aerodynamic domes, and corrector optics. Benefits: Bridger�s first commercialization priority will be to meet the Navy�s manufacturing needs. To accomplish this, Bridger will provide the critical laser �probe� component for OptiPro�s UltraSurf measurement system as an OEM unit. In addition to meeting the Navy's manufacturing needs, Bridger has identified strong interest for this system in medical, semiconductor, and aerospace markets. Return
