Michigan Aerospace Wins SBIR Contract for Spectroscope

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Michigan Aerospace Corp. (MAC) of Ann Arbor, Mich., an advanced engineering and products company, announced that it has received a $750,000 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to design and build a portable imaging neutron spectroscope prototype in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire. The contract, from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), is for a two-year effort and builds on the Phase I design completed at the end of 2007. The spectroscope will be capable of operating as a stand-alone instrument or integrated into an active interrogation system. The instrumentation resulting from this effort will enable scanning for smuggled fissionable materials at border checkpoints. The effort will be led by MAC’s chief technology officer, Dr. Dominique Fourguette.

Glossary
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
spectroscope
In a general sense, any one of a class of instruments used to disperse radiation, visible or invisible, into its component wavelengths and for determining or measuring the resultant spectrum. In a limited sense, the instrument is capable of being used only for visual observation of the spectrum.
