Agreement Value:
$356,400.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 2, 2025 - Oct 31, 2027
Description:
The objective of this project is to advance the design, the manufacturing and the testing of the convex grating to meet the user requirements for the CASTOR UVMOS. To mitigate technology and schedule risk, LAM will investigate two convex blazed grating technologies during the first phase of the visible pathfinder development. In a second phase, the grating for the CASTOR UVMOS will be prototyped. This prototype will first be tested at LAM at visible wavelengths and then at UV wavelengths at the University of Calgary using the CASTOR UVMOS test bed
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.
