Complete Characterization of Ultrafast X-Ray Pulses
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 12dWe are improving critical technologies needed for the development of laser-driven, table-top ultrafast x-ray sources suitable for ultrafast characterization of transient structures of energized molecules undergoing dissociation, isomerization, or intramolecular energy redistribution. In this SBIR project, Mesa Photonics will develop an X-ray ultrafast laser pulse measurement instrument for complet ...

Chemical remote sensor for proliferation
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 50dMesa Photonics plans development of a remote sensor to be used to detect clandestine nuclear material processing. We have identified a volatile chemical that is indicative of key steps in uranium isotope enrichment, and can be detected readily at low concentrations using optical methods. Small plumes that are about 1 m across and containing as little as 20 parts per million (ppm), or less, of th ...

Superconducting Tunnel Junction Detectors for High-Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy
SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC Topic: 17cX-ray absorption spectroscopy is a widely used experimental technique for studying the composition and chemistry of materials and is one of the driving forces behind the explosive growth of synchrotron light sources and their increase in brightness by many orders of magnitude. However, advances in detector technology have not kept pace with advances in synchrotron brightness, leading to limitation ...

Fully Integrated Low-Cost High-Precision Carbon Dioxide Analyzer
SBC: VISTA PHOTONICS, INC. Topic: 29bUnderstanding global warming requires continuous field measurements of carbon dioxide concentrations. High-precision measurements of a part-in-3000, or better, are required. However, these high-performance instruments must meet stringent cost objectives. A simple, rugged, infrared spectrometer can provide the required measurement precision at the solicited volume price point. Vista Photonics pr ...

Intelligent Trace Analysis for Automatic Extraction of Analog Seismographic Data
SBC: RETRIEVER TECHNOLOGY Topic: 06cSeismic detection systems are one of the primary means used to monitor subsurface nuclear explosions. Consequently, the study of previous seismic events provides a critical underpinning for ongoing nonproliferation efforts. In this proposal, Retriever Technology will continue its efforts to develop accurate and automated software to extract digital X-Y trace information from historical analog sei ...

Advanced Materials Technology for Nuclear Fuel Research and Development
SBC: Thor Technologies, Inc. Topic: 21bImproved cladding materials are needed for better structural stability in the corrosive high-pressure, hot-water environment of light water reactors, not only to extend fuel rod lifetime and increase fuel utilization (i.e., burn-up), but also to stave off run- away, active oxidation and melting of the rods under loss of coolant conditions. Proposed program will develop the use of a ceramic adhes ...

Thin Diamond for Time-of-Flight Detectors
SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc. Topic: 35bDetectors and radiation monitors for future high energy and nuclear physics experiments must be able to withstand radiation environments several orders of magnitude harsher than those of any current device. At present, most radiation detectors are based on silicon technology, however, the practical radiation hardness limit of silicon falls far short of requirements in future high ener ...

Novel Membrane Systems for Olefin/Paraffin Separation
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 18aEthylene and propylene are the primary feedstocks for the manufacture of polyethylene and polypropylene, respectively. These olefins represent a major component of the polymer manufacturing cost. Consequently, there is significant economic benefit in minimizing losses of unreacted olefin from the process. Some olefin loss is a result of the need to remove paraffin from the polymerization reactor ...

Diamond Refractive Focusing Optics
SBC: Delaware Diamond Knives, Inc Topic: 16aSynchrotron-based science has had a great scientific impact and will continue to have great impact going forward. In spite of the large investment in the 3rd generation light sources, most beam lines do not preserve the sources phase profile or brightness all the way to the sample. For these high brightness light sources, errors are almost completely due to distortion in the front-end optics cau ...

Micro-Fluidic Spectrometer for Measuring Groundwater Contamination
SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC Topic: 08aDOEs efforts to monitor legacy sites for groundwater contamination would benefit from turn-key systems that can measure metal contaminant concentrations in situ. Southwest Sciences proposes to develop a micro-fluidic sensor for measuring heavy metals in groundwater by measuring their uv-visible spectra. High sensitivity will be obtained using cavity enhanced spectroscopy. A novel cavity enhanced o ...
