Integrated Thermal Management and Wafer-Scale Packaging for High-Power VCSELs
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: MDA08T011Aerius Photonics is proposing to develop high-power Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) and arrays on 4” substrates with an integrated thermal management approach to improve the thermal performance on an entirely wafer-level manufacturing compatible process. This is critical as waste heat and wafer-scale manufacturing approaches are driving factors for performance and costs in a la ...

Photon-Counting Focal Plane Arrays for Active Sensing from 0.4-2.5 μm Wavelength
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: MDA09038Aerius Photonics proposes to develop photon-counting, linear-mode detection, active imaging focal plane arrays (FPAs) with photoresponse from 0.4 to 2.5 μm wavelength (VIS-NIR-SWIR) by inserting their Broadwave™ photodetector material into an Avalanche Photodiode (APD) structure. In Phase I Aerius will demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by fabricating APD arrays and test structures wit ...

High-performance, cost-effective SLS arrays using conventional III-V processes
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: MDA09013Aerius Photonics plans to develop cost-effective focal plane arrays (FPAs) based on InAs/GaSb strained layer superlattice (SLS) structures for long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) wavelength applications. Presently, the majority of arrays are fabricated in academic or laboratory environments. Building on their expertise in building large InGaAs arrays, Aerius will develop wafer processes that are str ...

High-efficiency vertical-cavity laser diode pumps for high-energy solid-state lasers
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: MDA09037Aerius Photonics proposes to develop fiber laser pump blocks and modules based on Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) arrays which can have a manufacturing cost ten times lower than the existing Edge Emitting Laser (EEL) technology. Aerius will demonstrate and deliver high efficiency VCSEL array blocks and modules emitting at 808 nm and 940 nm wavelength. These blocks and modules can be ...

Resource Optimization for Battle Management
SBC: AETION TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: MDA09026Resource optimization strategies for engaging multi-stage, long-range missiles carrying multiple warheads during the ascent phase is an area of interest to MDA and the larger DoD community. The ability to rapidly predict the outcomes of extremely large numbers of decision permutations is crucial in allowing commanders to make more efficient decisions in time-critical operational settings. WarpIV T ...

Creation of a Global UV-VIS-IR Ocean Background Model That is a Function of Time, Location and Sea State
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: MDA09035Areté Associates will develop an “ocean terrain” model for use with standard Missile Defense Agency (MDA) radiation code to create high fidelity simulations over the ocean. Specifically, Areté will apply its Synthetic Ocean Scene Generator (SOSG) to create ocean surface radiance fields in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and infrared (IR) wave bands, and couple them to the SHARC and MODT ...

High Efficiency Athermalized Gain Module
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: MDA08002Range-Resolved Doppler Imaging (RRDI) ladar has been singled out as the most promising advanced discrimination technology to augment existing advanced seekers on board MDA missile interceptors. Efforts are underway to develop compact RRDI ladar seekers to test against objective decoys and targets. These programs face many technical challenges, and their success hinges on parallel developments in a ...

Integrated Circulator for Regenerative Cryocoolers
SBC: ATLAS SCIENTIFIC Topic: MDA09020The problem of cooling gimbaled optics and LWIR focal planes can be solved by placing the entire cryocooler on gimbal. However, a large mass penalty is paid for such configurations, because the gimbal itself must grow in size and mass in order to support the cryocooler. To address the requirements of cooling across a two-axis gimbal, flexible joint, or to multiple locations on a spacecraft, we pro ...

HF Radar Calibration with Automatic Identification System Ships of Opportunity
SBC: CODAR OCEAN SENSORS, LTD Topic: 841Of more than 100 HF Radars operating within the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), more than half run either without recommended receive antenna pattern calibrations or with out-of-date calibrations, despite potential compromises to data quality. Cost is the primary inhibitor of frequent calibration, which generally requires a technician to drive a small vessel with mounted transponder in a ...

A Fast Scanning Photonic Multi-Beam Receive Array for BMD Applications
SBC: Crystal Research, Inc. Topic: MDA09016Crystal Research, Inc. (CRI) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (LM) propose to develop an x-band photonic multi-beam receive array based on a high-speed one-variable fiber-optic true-time-delay beamformer, capable of simultaneously receiving more than 10 independent RF beams with wide scanning angle of }60 degrees and fast scanning speed of 300 ns. Such a high steering speed is 3 orders of magnitude fa ...
