Attollo proposes to develop a GeSn / Si photodiode and tune the epitaxial layers for eSWIR sensitivity in partnership with Prof. Jack Ma (U. Wisc.) and Dr. Amy Liu (IQE) to realize 2.Xµm eSWIR detectors that can be monolithically integrated with Silicon CMOS wafers, and ultimately incorporated into low SWaP-C cameras

The modern space environment is dynamic and contested, requiring constant surveillance to detect maneuvers and thwart malicious intents. Modern maneuver detection techniques rely on either increasing solution noise or estimating maneuvers by propagating multiple models. Both suffer during long data gaps or in cluttered environments, thereby yielding inconsistent results in proliferated orbital reg ...

The IS4S/Auburn approach will be centered about a Continuous Output Microwave Energy Transformer (COMET) leveraging new GaN on SiC components from leading multi-million dollar research facilities and manufacturers with the purpose of developing novel Solar Power Satellite RF-DC solutions. This approach will navigate the entire DC-RF process from DC input to antenna port while running at a minimum ...

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a paradigm necessitating modern simulation testbeds. Existing solutions address some of these task requirements, human factors constructs, and domains separately, however they are not designed for research w

Tau Technologies’ proposed approach is based on a single-ended eye-safe pulsed laser Rayleigh guide star source with the employment of an SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) to form a dynamic Hartman-Shack turbulence sensor.  This system results in turbulence s

We propose to develop a low SWaP, robust, turnkey entangled-photon pair source emitting at 780 nm based on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design that combines a tunable continuous-wave PIC (pump) laser that is heterogeneously integrated with a non-li

In this STTR program a team comprising OEwaves Inc. (OEw) and Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) proposes to research, develop and deliver a photonic integrated circuit-based heterogeneously engineered, high heralding efficiency near-infrared (operating

A Quantum network takes advantage of the quantum properties of light and matter to enable secure communication, new sensing modalities, and enhanced computation. In implementing a quantum network, it is essential to efficiently generate and distribute ent

Trapped nano-scale particles are rapidly emerging as a powerful platform in high-precision sensing applications, as they can be used as highly sensitive transducers for various physical quantities. Optically levitated nanospheres in high vacuum, in partic

Navigation and communication systems have traditionally been developed separately resulting in the use of redundant hardware on the same platform for different purposes. In addition, authentication has generally been an afterthought, added on only after t
