Space Nanotechnology Laboratory

Research in MKI’s Space Nanotechnology Laboratory (SNL) seeks to apply micro/nanofabrication technology and precision engineering to achieve lightweight, high-performance and high-resolution optical components. The advanced optics and diffraction gratings developed by the lab are targeted to both space- and ground-based instrumentation in the x-ray and IR bands.
