Successful installation of Vescent Technology at NASA’s JPL

As part of a joint technology development between Vescent and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory a fully electro-optic Fourier transform spectrometer system was built and installed at the JPL facility.  The performance of this new type of Fourier transform spectrometer is enabled by the unprecedented voltage control over optical phase provided by our liquid crystal waveguide technology.  Applications for this technology include robust, low power, spectroscopic sensors for planetary exploration. More details about this technology are provided in several technical papers.
