Scientific Solutions

Scientific Solutions, Incorporated (SSI)'s mission is to integrate innovative electro-optic technology into mechanically robust, low power consumption, frequency-agile systems for imaging, defense, telecommunication and scientific research applications. SSI specializes in the fabrication of both classic Air-Gap Fabry-Perot Interferometers and next-... generation Liquid Crystal Fabry-Perot (LCFP) tunable optical filters. SSI was also responsible for the flight optics for the SENSE and EXOCUBE missions. Incorporated in 1995, SSI is a privately held company located at 55 Middlesex St. Unit 210, in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. SSI's facilities include office space, modern fully-equipped optical science laboratories, and a certified Class-1000 clean-room. Our staff includes observational space, atmospheric and planetary physicists. The SSI Team collectively brings together more than 50 years of hands-on Fabry-Pérot, remote sensing and spectroscopy experience. In addition to its award-winning products, SSI provides a range of photonics services including optical system design, spectroscopic consulting, and optical coating design. Recently, SSI formed a new division, Spectral Skies, which focuses on atmospheric measurements and spectral imaging. SSI pioneered the development of highly automated Doppler imagers, capable of remotely sensing dynamical properties of the upper atmosphere. SSI currently operates and maintains four Doppler imagers at the Arecibo Observatory and two at the MIT Haystack/Millstone Hill Observatory. These instruments measure neutral velocity and temperatures in the upper and lower thermosphere, and hydrogen and helium dynamics in the exosphere. Nightly data can be viewed at www.neutralwinds.com.
