The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop a pulsed source of high purity entangled photons suitable for use at the Air Force’s Starfire free space optical range to support advances in free space quantum networking hardware and protoco

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop fully packaged waveguide-based biphoton sources with high brightness and ultra-high, well characterized heralding efficiency. The specific goal of this phase I STTR is to establish the feasibi

  Mission success in contingency operations depends on communication and Beartooth Radio provides a solution when traditional comms are degraded; saving lives by reducing much-needed time battle-tracking friendlies and engaging the enemy when and where it

Mountain Aerospace Research Solutions, Inc. (MARS) will conduct R/R&D in concert with Catalyst Campus for Technology & Innovation (CCTI) to determine the priority and importance of various technological aspects of our nascent propulsion platform, the MK2-X air augmented liquid rocket engine. This R/R&D will show a clear path to reducing launch costs, increasing launch cadence and overall OSAM capa ...

The current state of aircraft model validation has not change dramatically in several decades. Stabilized test points and unique flight test maneuvers are still utilized to determine a platform’s acceptability as compared to a model. A model that has be developed from some analysis but mostly anecdotally from previous test programs. This in conjunction with the assumptions and simplifications us ...

Division by Zero Labs is a process development lab and engineering firm that specializes in advanced spray drying technologies (method of producing a dry powder from a liquid or slurry by rapidly drying with a hot gas). We perform testing, formulation, method development, design and engineering for spray drying processes and spray drying plants. In doing so we have gained diverse experience across ...

The overall goal of the STTR effort is to develop a compact, robust laser for cooling, re-pumping, state preparation and state detection of ytterbium-based trapped ion quantum computers.  Researchers and developers of trapped ion systems are often limited by the stability and reliability of the UV-Visable laser sources and components needed in their systems.  In this Phase I proposal, AdvR will ...

A reoccurring challenge in photonic quantum information is that many computational platforms (trapped ions, defect centers, neutral atoms, quantum dots) have transitions at visible wavelengths whereas photonic infrastructure largely operates in the telecommunications band. To connect the two, researchers either perform frequency conversion or produce highly non-degenerate entangled/correlated phot ...

The overall goal of this Air Force effort is to develop and deliver efficient, single-pass quantum optical waveguide sources generating entangled photon pairs for use in high-rate long-distance quantum computing or quantum communications networks. The new devices will produce pulsed polarization-entangled photon pairs with high emission rate, low attenuation, and pure spectral properties necessary ...

Adelos, Inc. has developed a commercial, ground-based fiber optic sensor for oil and gas pipeline leak detection and right of way intrusion monitoring using specialized optical microphonic amplification and neural net classification: Phosonic. The US Air Force (AF) has identified a need for a Ground Based Threat Detection Threat System (GBTDS) to detect vehicle and human targets up to 150 meters a ...
