Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase I year
2003
Phase I Amount
$119,545
We propose to design a zoom lens with a focal length that is continuously variable from 20 inches to 150 inches. The lens will be designed to be color corrected from 400 nm to 700 nm with a resolution of 100 line pairs per millimeter. In Phase I, we will also fabricate and deliver a scaled version of the zoom lens. A zoom lens will provide the ability to image distant targets at various ranges without the need to maintain an inventory of multiple lenses with fixed focal lengths.

Phase II

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: ----    Completed: ----
Phase II year
2003
Phase II Amount
$729,310
We propose to fabricate a zoom lens with a focal length that is continuously variable from 20 inches to 150 inches to image objects at distances of many kilometers. The lens will be color corrected from 450 nm to 650 nm. A zoom lens will provide the ability to image distant targets at various ranges without the need to maintain an inventory of multiple lenses with different focal lengths. This saves inventory costs and the expense and time needed to change systems during testing.
