Sandia National Laboratories has created the first inverse-design software for optical metamaterials — meaning users start by describing the result they want, and the software fills in the steps to get there. The modern design approach takes guesswork out of engineering as-yet theoretical technologies like ultracompact, high-performance cameras and cloaking armor that could make wearers invisible to detection.
MIRaGE is a new and ongoing R&D area, and as such, our governing entities require some additional information to be gathered and reviewed before distribution.
Acquiring a copy of MIRaGE is a two-step process. The first step will be on the following page when you click the button below. This step is an in-depth questionnaire called the Participant Data Sheet (PDS) and is used to review eligibility.
The second step involves the approval and signature of a Government Use Notice (GUN), which allows entities that either 1) hold an existing government contract with DARPA or another Federal Agency and have a need for the software or 2) have negotiated access to the software through DARPA.
Once the GUN is signed you will receive credentials via an email that allow you to download and install MIRaGE.
If you have issues with the process or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at help@mirage-software.com.
