Title:
Gemini Planet Imager CAL2 HSOA (High-stability Opto-mechanical Assembly)
Agreement Value:
$170,000.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 1, 2021 - Apr 30, 2024
Description:
This applied research project goal is to design and build a complex optomechanical system assembly to be used in the Gemini Planet Imager facility calibration subsystem instrument. The main challenge is to minimize the relative displacement between two optical components during observation. The relative movement is in the order of 0.0005° while in operation. This error is created by parasitical vibrations and thermal distortion.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
