Wide-field Imaging System and Rapid Direction of Optical Zoom (WOZ)

Abstract

This report covers technical progress on the Wide-field Imaging System and Rapid Direction of Optical Zoom (WOZ) contract for the period 16 June - 15 September 2010. A report covering financial status for this period is provided separately. During this period, subcontracts were awarded by the prime to both team mates, Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. and NeXolve, Inc. An initial empirical model has been developed and provides results that are qualitatively consistent with the behavior of the PVDF films. A method and fixture for characterizing the piezoelectric properties of the materials has been developed and is being fabricated. Finally, an initial sample of the material to confirm test film design is suitable has been delivered.
