In this Phase II SBIR project, we will optimize the design and develop the growth processes and equipment to routinely produce large (through 150mm), high-quality, single-crystal cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) bulk material suitable for the production of CZT substrates for producing larger and highest-performing long-wave infrared (LWIR) detector arrays. We are addressing these issues by i ...

MDA is interested in developing single mode high power diode lasers with excellent beam quality and high efficiency and coherently combine them for high power output and use the coherently combined modules to build high power direct diode laser (HPDDL) systems capable of achieving upwards of 10-100 kW (dependent on the beam combining technique) of high output power while maintaining the beam quali ...

Restoration of coral reefs is dependent upon an ability to adhere young corals, grown in tanks, onto inorganic substrates within the seas. The epoxies in current use do not provide a viable path to restoration owing to poor adhesion underwater, lengthy mixing of components needed, clouds of toxic epoxy precursors released into the water, and extensive diver time needed to clean the underlying cora ...

This research will develop a 128x128 detector element radiation hardened camera for spaced-based long range imaging. The detector array, readout integrated circuit (ROIC), and camera will be designed and built using radiation-hardened techniques and materials. Approved for Public Release | 19-MDA-10270 (18 Nov 19)

SciTec, Inc. has extensive experience developing robust, signature based autonomous exploitation capabilities for data collected from Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR) systems. These signature based capabilities are typically robust because they exploit features with known causal relationships to threat characteristics and behavior, and because they are constructed using rigorous mathematical framewo ...

To meet the demands of the DMEA182-002 SBIR solicitation (“Front End of Line and Back End of Line Layer Fabrication Partitioning for the Purpose of Design Intellectual Property Protection”), the MaXentric and UCLA team proposes the HIGHFIVE (Heterogeneous Integration Guideline Highlighting Fabrication of Information Veiled Electronics), which provides a practical verification flow using the ci ...

This research will develop a 128x128 on 30 µm pixel pitch radiation hardened Laser Detection and Ranging (LADAR) system for spaced-based long range imaging. This advanced LADAR system will be integrated with an InGaAsP-based linear-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) optimized for 1.06 µm operation. Studies will be completed to optimize the APD structure for radiation hardness, achieving gains ...
