$149,991Benefit:
Bridgers first commercialization priority will be to meet the Navys manufacturing needs. To accomplish this, Bridger will provide the critical laser probe 0x9D component for OptiPros UltraSurf measurement system as an OEM unit. In addition to meeting the Navy's manufacturing needs, Bridger has identified strong interest for this system in medical, semiconductor, and aerospace markets.

$599,999Benefit:
The primary benefits of the proposed optical metrology system will be to dramatically increase manufacturing throughput, improve metrology precision, and reduce cost for large aspheric optics. Bridger anticipates that their product will reduce optical metrology time by more than a factor of ten compared to the current state-of-the-art. Bridgers solution is will also find application in calibration of metrology machines (CNC, CMM, AFM, SEM), wafer positioning and optic alignment for the semiconductor industry, and part mapping and positioning for laser materials processing applications.
