This SBIR Phase I project will develop efficient, scalable and low-cost photo-bioreactors with light guiding optical sheets and low-power spatial light modulators to increase culture density and light penetration, and decrease doubling time for the production of microalgae. This proposed research will enhance the algal growth in a photo-bioreactor by using a low-power spatial light modulator to effectively reduce the photon saturation effects and light guiding optical sheets to guide photons to the interior of a photo-bioreactor.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be the improved efficiency of a photo-bioreactor for the production of microalgae by reducing the photon saturation effects and guiding photons to the interior of a photo-bioreactor. The technology to be developed by this project should be attractive to provide efficient and low-cost photo-bioreactors to the algal industry.

该SBIR第一阶段项目将开发高效，可扩展和低成本的光生物反应器，具有光导光学片和低功率空间光调制器，以增加培养密度和光穿透，并减少微藻生产的倍增时间。 是项研究将利用低功率空间光调制器有效减低光子饱和效应，并利用导光光学片将光子引导至光生物反应器内部，以促进藻类在光生物反应器中的生长。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是提高光生物反应器的效率，本发明涉及通过减少光子饱和效应并将光子引导到光生物反应器的内部来生产微藻的生物反应器。 该项目开发的技术应具有吸引力，可为藻类工业提供高效和低成本的光生物反应器。
