High Speed Polarization Modulation of Microcavity Lasers for Laser Radar (LADAR) Applications
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: ST092003A need exists for polarization interrogating and discriminating Ladar systems to detect and discriminate defilade targets. In the proposed effort, Aerius, and our partner at the University of Illinois, will apply photonic crystal technology to extend Aerius’ high power, high wall plug efficiency, Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) results to develop a stable polarization switched VC ...

New Thruster for Proliferated Satellites Has More Force and Longer Life
SBC: The Granville Group Inc. Topic: ST092005Granville has designed a new satellite/spacecraft propulsion engine, GREP, delivering over 100.mN/1.0 kW of force from strong electromagnetic energy… more force magnitude and efficiency than existing propellant limited ion thrusters. And, because it uses renewable power from on-board solar/electric panels, GREP offers extended propulsion maneuver life, up to 15 years or more, substantially lon ...

Long Coherence Length 193 nm Laser for High-Resolution Nano-Fabrication
SBC: LUMERAS LLC Topic: ST071006Immersion lithography using available 193 nm optics and laser sources provides an attractive near-term path to reducing the printable feature sizes of integrated circuits by using a high-index fluid to reduce the wavelength at the wafer, rather than using light with higher photon energy and shorter vacuum wavelength. An interferometric immersion lithography (IIL) tool has demonstrated rapid fabric ...

Improved electrodes for low-loss radio frequency devices
SBC: AGILE RF, INC. Topic: A09AT015Understanding and minimizing RF loss in tunable components is key to the successful integration of this technology in high performance wireless devices. Filter applications, in particular, fundamentally require extremely low loss to operate efficiently. Agile’s high-frequency tunable filter development efforts using BST have found that loss due to surface or series resistance (Rs) is a significa ...

Sterilization and Decontamination of Surfaces Contaminated
SBC: APPLIED PULSED POWER, INC. Topic: N/ADecontamination of military personnel, equipment and facilities that have been exposed to deadly biological and / or chemical warfare agents is of critical concern to U.S. Armed Forces. Conventional technologies used for decontamination and sterilization suffer from drawbacks that include toxic effluents, radiation hazards to personnel, and very long time scales for the decontamination process pr ...

High Current Photodetector
SBC: ARCHCOM TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: ST051007For many communication applications, the demand for more bandwidth is a never ending problem. Military system applications often can exceed commercial demands by an order of magnitude or more as SIGINT and IMINT data collection and transmission are keys to our National Security. Optical delivery of RF signals is an increasingly important topic for applications including RF antenna remoting, sign ...

Stress Induced Micro/Nano Caloricparticle For Improved Thermoacoustic Refrigeration
SBC: FORTIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: ST041001Traditional refrigeration systems based on the compression and expansion of refrigerant gases are complicated and limited to large dimensions. The pumps and compressors required makes it difficult if no impossible to scale down the system to miniature sizes that would be portable. Thermoacoustic based refrigeration systems promises to provide solid state refrigeration with no moving components, ...
