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. Smart Vision Chip with Adaptive On-Board Image Processing Electronics and Software

    SBC: Array Vision Engineering Co.            Topic: N/A

    This research will prove the feasibility of a new family of smart vision chips and ancillary software, capable to adaptively select image processing parameters and regions of interest in the field of view. The proposed solution allows imaging under photon-starved conditions (low illumination, or rapidly moving objects), as well as separate processing of "bright spots". Unsupervised computer vision ...

  2. GaN LED UV Pumped Multi-Color & White Light Phosphors Using Innovative Immersion Techniques for Display Applications

    SBC: EMCORE CORP.            Topic: N/A

    The use of UV LEDs for creating visible light by exciting commercially available phosphors will be explored. LEDs based on the (InAlGa)N materials system, now currently used to produce high brightness blue and green LEDs, will be developed to emit efficiently at UV wavelengths corresponding to the excitation bands of various phosphors. By using UV emission from LEDs to excite standard phosphors to ...

  3. Innovative Development of a Large Area SiC Growth System & Growth Process

    SBC: EMCORE CORP.            Topic: N/A

    Silicon carbide (SiC) is an attractive material for use in high power and high temperature devices. Currently, there are significant challenges for the growth of large area epitaxial films of SiC. We are proposing to develop novel growth systems and growth processes for the large area growth of SiC. In our approach, we will increase the uniformity of Si/C ratios and temperature at the growth inter ...

  4. The Innovative Development of Avalanche Photodetectors for UV Application

    SBC: EMCORE CORP.            Topic: N/A

    For many miltary applications, normal photoconductors and junction photodiodes are not sufficiently sensitive for detection of low incident light levels, therefore photodetector devices with optical gain are required. Large gains can be obtained in avalanche photodiodes (APD) with both low noise and large bandwidth. It is proposed to develop innovative AlGaN/GaN based APDs. In order to achieve the ...

  5. A Compact High Current Driver for Semiconductor Diode Lasers, Suitable for Laser Radar (LADR) Applications

    SBC: Garron Instrument Engineering            Topic: N/A

    A fast-pulsed (3-15ns FWHM) high-current (>500A) driver for high power diode lasers or laser arrays is proposed. Present high-current diode drivers typically use MOSFET switches to modulate the current. It is difficult to achieve very fast pulses with such devices because the inherent capacitance of the gate electrode cannot be charged and discharged quickly. Lower current, but faster diode driver ...

  6. All Solid-State Laser System Continuously Tunable Over 0.2-10 micron Spectral Range

    SBC: LIGHT AGE, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop a broadly tunable all solid-state laser system able to address any wavelength between 200 nm and 10 um at average power levels of several watts. This laser source will be useful for remote sensing applications including laser induced flourescence and backscattering, doppler lidar, interferometry, and coherent imaging. The proposed laser system will be based on a combination ...

  7. Low-Pressure Long-Term Xenon Storage for Electric Propulsion (701RS015)

    SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP            Topic: N/A

    The high molecular weight of Xenon (Xe) makes it ideal as a fuel for electric propulsion systems such as SPT and ion engines. However, storage as a compressed-gas or in a liquified state is far from ideal due to the massive supporting refrigeration hardware, pressure reduction equipment, complex controls, and/or thick-walled tanks. Mainstream proposes the innovative use of a solid storage system ...

  8. A Situation Awareness Visualization System

    SBC: Maxus Strategic Systems, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Knowledge is today's most valuable resource. The Information Age has unleashed strategic imperatives for knowledge tools capable of managing inJormation overload--too much information arriving too fast for the brain to absorb unassisted. Unless presented effectively, a deluge of data will obscure the vantage point which topsight--a central understanding of the 'big picture'-requires. METAPHOR MIXE ...

  9. Micro Electro Mechanical System Cryocooler

    SBC: Munroe Machinery Corp            Topic: N/A

    Development is proposed of a miniature cryogenic refrigerator (microcooler) designec for manufacture using the same micromachining techniques developed for silicon chip electronic, sensor and actuator systems and Iater extended to Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). Development of the 'microcooler on a chip' is intended for application to those sensors and electronic systems, semiconductor an ...

  10. A New Manufacturing Technology for Next Generation, Ultra Resolution Fiber Optic Elements

    SBC: NANOPTICS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a revolutionary new manufacturing technique for ultra high resolution fiber optic elements. They exceed the spatial resolution of all existing fiber optic elements. These elements include fiber optic tapers, fiber optic face plates, fiber optic 180_ inverters, and fiber optic boroscopes used for inspection of jet engines and the like, and endoscop ...
