Abstract

A survey is presented of the applications of optics to research at the NASA Lewis Research Center. The Center’s principal research areas are flight propulsion and space power generation; these use optical devices and techniques in photography, gas density visualization, pyrometry of gases and surfaces, radiative heat transfer studies, spectroscopy, spectroradiometry, solar simulation, and solar-cell development for space applications.
