Mesa Photonics Joins Global CCS Institute

Lauren Bomse — Tue, 07 May 2013 20:50:44 +0000

Mesa Photonics is now a member of the Global CCS Institute in Canberra, Australia. The Institute is dedicated to promoting carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an effective tool for mitigating global warming. Mesa’s membership was motivated, in part, by our work on CCS measurement technology. Under a National Science Foundation Phase I SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grant, we are now developing an efficient gas analyzer to use for detecting leaks from underground carbon dioxide storage locations.

December 5, 2012: NSF Awards Phase I SBIR Grant to Mesa Photonics

chris kramer — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 19:50:18 +0000

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded to Mesa Photonics a Phase I SBIR grant to develop improvements to multiphoton microscopy. Multiphoton microscopes have radically changed the manner in which quantitative biological studies are performed. These microscopes are used for high-resolution 3D imaging f biological samples. Mesa’s new technology will improve image quality and speed up imaging. Commercial devices will be drop-in additions to nearly all types of multiphoton microscopes.

July 2, 2012: Two Grants Awarded to Mesa Photonics from DOE Phase II Small Business Innovation

chris kramer — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:35:01 +0000

The US Department of Energy has awarded Mesa Photonics two Phase II Small Business Innovation (SBIR) grants.

The first grant, “Complete characterization of ultrafast X-ray pulses,” will develop critical diagnostics for pulsed ultrafast X-ray systems being built worldwide. These systems can be used for non-destructive testing, microanalysis, microscopy, and medical imaging and diagnostics.

The second grant, “Chemical remote sensor for proliferation,” will lead to development of a small, light-weight sensor that is designed to detect clandestine nuclear processing. The sensor uses light to measure emissions generated during uranium refining.

The Department of Energy awarded 104 grants – including the two for Mesa Photonics — out of 209 proposals that were submitted in April.
