The Development of Diffractive Filter Array (DFA) for Hyperspectral Diffractive Imaging Spectrometer (DRISM) Application 80LARC25C0002
Summary
AI-generated · Oct 09, 2025Develop and demonstrate a Diffractive Focal Array (DFA) optical device to meet the Diffractive Imaging Spectrometer (DRISM) requirements for the HyperPIX hyperspectral imaging spectrometer, including design, fabrication, and characterization of the DFA, along with developing the spectral imaging reconstruction algorithm.
The award is sole-source to the University of Utah under a firm-fixed-price contract valued at $579,836 for a 36-month period of performance, funded under NASA’s ROSES PICASSO program for the SAGE IV instrument, delivering the DFA design, fabrication, and reconstruction software for integration.
A firm fixed price contract in the amount of $579,836 was awarded to the University of Utah on September 26, 2025 on a sole source basis. This work supports the NASA Hyperspectral Planetary Imaging Explorer (HyperPIX) project for developing and demonstrating an imaging spectrograph, which was competitively awarded under NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH24ZDA001N, Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024 solicitation, by the NASA Planetary Instrument Concepts for the Advancement of Solar System Observations (PICASSO) program. As part of this effort, the University of Utah will develop the Diffractive Focal Array (DFA) optical device that meets the requirements for the Diffractive Imaging Spectrometer (DRISM) configuration for implementation in the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) IV instrument. This development includes the model design, fabrication, and characterization of the DFA component, as well as developing the spectral imaging reconstruction algorithm. The period of performance for the contract is 36 months. The approved JOFOC is attached.
