Title:
High-resolution off-axis parabola (HR-OAP)
Agreement Value:
$70,000.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 1, 2021 - Nov 30, 2024
Description:
This goal of this applied research project is to design, built, test and assemble a complex high-resolution off-axis parabola (HR-OAP) to be used as a key component of the Small teams, Round 2 project led by AEP. The main challenge is to minimize the surface figure error and the surface roughness. The goal for the surface figure is λ/20 P-V @ 633 nm with a roughness of less than 5 Angstroms.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada

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.
