All
Sky Imager: Our newest product.
A small all-sky imager capable of imaging
low intensity airglow or astronomical
features. A filter wheel that holds
5 2” diameter interference filters
allows all-sky monochromatic images
at select wavelengths to be collected
ideal for airglow observations, astronomical
seeing calculations, aerosol observations
and environmental monitoring. Comes
complete with netbook computer and
imaging software. [More]

Wins 2009 R&D100 Award: SSI
received a prestigious R&D100 Award
for its new Segmented
Tunable Filter, distinguishing
it as one of the 100 most technologically
significant products introduced into
the marketplace over the past year.
This electro-optical filter is an innovation
capable of simultaneously collecting
spatial and spectral information while
providing high spectral resolution
and rapid tuning. Based on Fabry-Perot
technology, this next-generation tunable
optical filter achieves multiple, independently
tunable filter segments on a single
substrate. The patented technology
is intended for use as the key dispersive
element in hybrid multi-spectral imaging
systems. [Full

News: [June 2009]
The Department of Energy (DOE)
has awarded a Phase I SBIR
to SSI to develop a Fabry-Perot
Spectrometer for Oxygen A-Band
Research (FABSOAR). This instrument
will offer 100x more throughput
than a grating spectrometer
thus allowing for 60x faster
detection of bright daytime
spectra, and even better detection
of dimmer twilight spectra.
In addition to its role in
atmospheric research, this
technology has significant
commercial potential in both
United States Government (USG)
and private sector markets.
FABSOAR can be tailored for
use in a variety of different
applications including atmospheric
remote sensing, environmental
trace-gas and chemical sensing,
detection and monitoring, and
LIDAR.

News: [May 2009] SSI
is proud to unveil two new
innovative software packages
designed to make Fabry-Perot
use easier than ever before.
Whether you are at an observatory
or in a university laboratory,
these new powerful software
packages will significantly
simplify the use of Fabry-Perot
Interferometer systems and
facilitate FP fringe analysis. FringeTool allows
users to manipulate and analyze
FITS-format Fabry-Perot interference
fringe images. ImageTool is
an integrated image acquisition
and analysis software package
for astronomy and aeronomy
observations using SSI's Space
Weather instrumentation. ImageTool
also lets users interface with
a wide variety of spectroscopic
and imaging cameras.

SSI
News: [March 2009]
SSI is designing a new class
of hyperspectral imager (HSI)
specifically optimized for
CubeSat testbed implementation
(C-HSI) based on the robust,
very spaceworthy monolithic
SHS. Sensing platforms can
extract maximum information
from target scenes by acquiring
high-resolution imagery in
simultaneous spatial and spectral
dimensions. A HSI acquires
multi-wavelength 2-D spatial
images by orienting a slit
aperture orthogonal to the
vehicle velocity vector in
a push broom configuration.
Distribution of multiple HSIs
on a fleet of CubeSats can
provide global coverage unavailable
with single satellite orbital
platforms and provide a novel
architecture for multiwavelength
target discrimination and 3-D
target reconstruction.
