Award Data

Physical Sciences Inc. and Colorado State University will develop an innovative sensor that enables low-cost infrared hyperspectral imaging though the use of novel sampling algorithms which provide real-world chemical plume detection capability with compressed data and a hardware configuration which enables high frame rate capture of full 2D spatial and 1D spectral data. Compressive sensing techn ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to develop printed, high-performance ultracapacitors to meet the Army"s need for lightweight energy storage. SI2 will leverage its demonstrated expertise in ink jet printing and our partner"s expertise with carbon nanoparticle synthesis to develop low-cost, flexible, printed ultracapacitors. SI2 has considerable experience in the roll-to-roll deposition of ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop novel lead salt semiconductor quantum dot (QD) mid-infrared detectors for sensing and imaging applications. The proposed development is based on our recent study of PbSe photoconductive (PC) detector with a rec

SI2 Technologies proposes to design, model, fabricate and transition wideband tunable multiferroic electronics for advanced RF systems including adaptive Radar, software defined radios and other electronic warfare (EW) applications. Combining novel nanost

Voltage tunable multiferroic materials with strong magnetoelectric coupling provide a unique approach to compact, lightweight and power efficient tunable RF/microwave multiferroic components, such as tunable inductors, filters, phase shifters, etc. The tu

Q-Peak, Inc. in collaboration with CREOL proposes to develop a novel concept of long-wave IR (LWIR) femtosecond laser system. Current laser systems suffer from complexity due to the use of multiple nonlinear stages to achieve the desired wavelength and have issues with power scaling. The proposed system will consist of 2.5 um femtosecond regenerative amplifier system pumping a single OPA stage bas ...

Antimicrobial treatment of military textile systems is intended to provide enhanced protection to the Warfighter in the field by preventing colonization of harmful bacteria that cause problems such as odor, dermatitis, and skin irritation. Current treatments can impart antimicrobial functionality to textiles; however, they all possess broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, affecting all skin bacte ...

To achieve the goals of this program improving spectral coverage and output power of monolithic QCL sources as well as the development of a production and manufacturing plan - we propose to develop in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory a broadly tunable high power source that is based on Eos"proprietary QCL array technology. The current generation of Eos"commercially available fully packag ...
