In developing its BioSentry™ product line, JMAR Technologies, Inc.*, of San Diego, California, licensed NASA Goddard’s Holographic Circle-to-Point Converter in 2005. BioSentry is a real-time, online system for continuous monitoring of drinking water supplies for water utilities, bottled water and beverage processors, and homeland security. Goddard’s technology is an optical device that reduces the cost, complexity, and size of lidar (or “laser radar”) systems. Initially developed for use in direct-detection Doppler lidar systems, Goddard’s technology also can be used for particle counting and contamination monitoring. JMAR experimented with that application.

Beta tests of BioSentry at a beverage facility used Goddard’s technology, and the company has since made other advancements to its product. JMAR credits Goddard’s technology with speeding up BioSentry’s system architecture design, reducing the cost and complexity of entering the marketplace.
