SLASH

Director at LightMirror

About

SLASH is a ground-based Solar-Pumped Laser (SPL) system designed to mitigate space debris through contactless laser ablation, with no propellant, no physical proximity required.

Core tech: CeNd:YAG crystals (4.64% solar-to-laser efficiency), Kalman-LSTM AI tracking (75% accuracy), 5 arcsecond beam pointing, blockchain audit layer for regulatory compliance.

Current TRL: 2-3. Target: TRL 4 within 12 months. Budget: 40–60K.

We are looking for:

- University / solar laser labs (equipment access, co-authorship)

- Solar farm operators (CSP pilot sites)

- Observatory networks (tracking validation)

- EU project consortium partners (EIC Pathfinder Open 2026)

Already partnered with NOVA Lisbon (Dr. Dawei Liang lab) and ISKPI Ukraine (25-observatory network). EIC Pathfinder proposal submitted in 2024-2025(7 partners, 7 countries).
