High-resolution off-axis parabola (HR-OAP)
FY 2021-22 · 2021-12-01
Summary
This goal of this applied research project is to design, built, test and assemble a complex high-resolution off-axis parabola (HR-OAP) to be used as a key component of the Small teams, Round 2 project led by AEP. The main challenge is to minimize the surface figure error and the surface roughness. The goal for the surface figure is λ/20 P-V @ 633 nm with a roughness of less than 5 Angstroms.

Description (French)
L’objectif de ce projet de recherche appliquée est de concevoir, construire, tester et assembler une parabole hors axe complexe à haute résolution (HR-OAP) qui sera utilisée comme élément clé de la deuxième vague du projet « Petites équipes », dirigé par EPA. Le principal défi consiste à minimiser l’erreur de la figure de surface et la rugosité de la surface. L’objectif pour la figure de surface est λ/20 P-V à 633 nm avec une rugosité de moins de 0,5 nm (5 Å).
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.

Program Name (French)
Programme de collaboration en science, en technologie et en innovation – Fonds d’idéation
Program Purpose
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
Program Purpose (French)
Collaborer à des programmes multipartites de recherche-développement dans le but de profiter de la synergie entre la recherche transformatrice à haut risque et à haut rendement et le potentiel de découvertes scientifiques et de percées technologiques révolutionnaires dans des secteurs d’intervention prioritaires.
