Description

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center (LaRC) has a requirement to develop the Diffractive Filter Array (DFA) optical device that meets the requirements for the hyperspectral Diffractive Imaging Spectrometer (DRISM) configuration for implementation in Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE IV) instrument for the Hyperspectral Planetary Imaging Explorer (HyperPIx) project demonstration. This development includes design model, fabrication, and characterization of the DFA component, as well as developing spectral imaging reconstruction algorithm. The final size of the developed DFA shall be compatible with the specifications for a single port on the filter wheel used by SAGE IV.

NASA Langley Planetary Instrument Concepts for the Advancement of Solar System Observations (PICASSO) program supports the development of spacecraft-based instrument, systems and components that would enhance or enable new science and technology for future planetary missions. The HyperPIx project proposal submitted by NASA LaRC Engineering Directorate was competitively selected for award by the NASA Planetary Exploration Science Technology Office (PESTO) under the PICASSO 2024 solicitation. The University of Utah was identified as a team member within the selected proposal to perform the following tasks:

DFA Surface Model for Final Design: Conduct the DFA design for the DRISM application using surface modeling to identify the required microstructure in the form of a periodic unit cell structure. 2. DFA Fabrication: Use the optimized DFA design parameters, resulting from the updated device model, to fabricate the actual DFA, while ensuring the fabrication meets the specifications for the DRISM configuration in the SAGE IV setup

3. DFA Surface Inspection and Characterization: Inspect and characterize the DFA surface after fabrication.

4. DRISM Calibration for Model Update: Install the fabricated DFA into the SAGE IV ...
