The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. High-resolution/high-precision PEM Quality Control

    SBC: RESONON, INC.            Topic: C5618h

    High-quality, defect free, and consistent thickness Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) films are required to ensure maximum efficiency and longevity over the life of hydrogen fuel cells or electrolyzers utilizing this technology. The current technologies of PEM film Quality Assurance (QA) and defect detection rely on human inspection, which can be subjective and labor intensive, or measurement technol ...

  2. Development of robust fully autonomous machine learning-based cloud processing for Infrared Cloud Imagers

    SBC: NWB SENSORS INC            Topic: C5326b

    Cloud cover is an important but poorly characterized component of current climate models. In particular, there is a need to detect and quantify cloud cover in a physically meaningful manner. This need has led to the development of infrared cloud imagers. This system uses long-wave infrared cameras to observe the thermal emission from the clouds and produces a measurement of spatially distributed c ...

  3. Waveguide-based squeezed light sources

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: C5305a

    Squeezed light sources are a critical component of continuous variable quantum networking and quantum computing systems. Periodically poled nonlinear optical waveguides are a promising technology for squeezed light sources due to high conversion efficiency, long interaction length, robust fiber coupling, and integration potential. While these waveguides are available commercially, they are not opt ...

  5. Commercial Production of Low-Loss Quantum Frequency Conversion and Electro-Optical Modulation Devices Enabled by Wafer-Level Processing of Reverse-Proton-Exchange Lithium Niobate Waveguides

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: C5106a

    Quantum optical networks will require all optical signal processing that is enabled by lithium niobate-based components. While many of these components are commercially available, they are not optimized for the ultra-low optical losses required for quantum applications. This program will develop refined processing techniques to fabricate ultra-low loss lithium niobate- based components, initially ...

  6. Commercial Production of Low-Loss Quantum Frequency Conversion and Electro-Optical Modulation Devices Enabled by Wafer-Level Processing of Reverse-Proton-Exchange Lithium Niobate Waveguides

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: 06a

    Fiber-based quantum networks can utilize existing infrastructure and heavily optimized fiber optic-based systems in the telecommunications band; however, the quantum information to be transported across the quantum network is often generated or manipulated outside of the telecom range. Quantum frequency conversion, or tailoring the wavelength of a photonic qubit, can be utilized to transfer inform ...

  7. Advancing the Development of Floating Solar-Powered Nanobubble Aeration Systems for Use With Floating Treatment Wetlands in Natural and Man-Made Waterbodies.

    SBC: Floating Island International, Inc.            Topic: 16c

    Many freshwater lakes suffer from Harmful Algal Blooms driven largely by nutrient pollution, leading to widespread loss of aquatic life through oxygen deprivation. An associated issue is generation of methane in such lakes, contributing a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Both of these situations urgently need complete water column aeration as part of prevention ...

  8. Low Loss, Highly Nonlinear Waveguides for Transparent Optical Quantum Networks

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: 06a

    Quantum optical networks being developed by the DOE require all optical signal processing to preserve the quantum state of generated and transmitted photons. This requirement necessitates the development of transparent optical components with functionalities to support a quantum network. Robust, fiber packaged lithium niobate waveguide technologies can fit these needs in a suitable, scalable manne ...

  9. Micro-Pulse DIAL for Atmospheric Water Vapor Profiling

    SBC: Bridger Photonics, Inc.            Topic: 25b

    Water vapor plays a key role in Earth’s climate and weather patterns. Accurate, high resolution measurements of the water vapor vertical profiles in a region have been found to significantly improve the numerical weather prediction models’ short-term forecasts, precipitation forecasts, as well as severe weather forecasts. However, current measurement techniques provide very coarse resolution i ...
