title: Optics at the lewis research center.
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, radiativeheat transfer studies, spectroscopy, spectroradiometry, solar simulation, and solar-cell development for space applications.
