Asymmetric Barrier Engineering of Tunneling Heterostructures for MM-Wave Zero-Bias Sensitivity below the Schottky Limit
SBC: Terapico LLC Topic: CBD22BT001Metal-semiconductor (“Schottky”) junctions have defined the “gold standard” in sensitive, room-temperature “RF” (microwave, mm-wave, and THz) rectifiers going back over a century. As such they have already been widely pursued as elements in one- and two-dimensional arrays for “RF” imaging applications, both passive and active. However, they present a limit for the maximum RF curren ...

A microstructured target for high efficiency X-ray production
SBC: AWAREABILITY TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: HR0011ST2023D01Increasing the energy of the electron beam striking an X-ray target can lead to higher electron to X-ray conversion efficiency. For a given electron beam energy, the conversion efficiency can be enhanced through various methods. Optimizing the electron beam parameters, such as beam current, pulse width, and repetition rate, can also improve the conversion efficiency. Choice of the X-ray target mat ...

Multi-cell X-ray target with energy recuperation
SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: HR0011ST2023D01Food irradiation technology has attracted more attention in the past decade given that it can provide a sustainable solution on how to address pathogen contamination in food. X-ray irradiation has several advantages compared to other irradiation technologies including superior penetrating quality compared to electron beams, and considerably larger dose rate compared to gamma rays. However, the low ...

On-Demand Additive Manufacturing of Astronomical Mirrors
SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc. Topic: AF22AT002The proposed technology will meet the Air Force’s need for new techniques to allow 3D printing at nanometer scales to produce astronomical parabolic/spherical mirrors requiring little to no figuring or modification to achieve the form fidelity, surface finish, and reflectance. Astronomical mirrors are traditionally produced via a combined casting, diamond turning, and coating approach that is ti ...

Additive Manufacturing of Large Astronomical Mirrors via Interlocking Features
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: AF22AT002As part of the STTR topic AF22A-T002, the United State Air Force (USAF) is seeking a capability to additively manufacture parabolic/spherical telescope mirrors. Additive manufacturing (AM) of telescope mirrors enables unprecedented design flexibility, on-demand manufacturing, and the ability to fabricate mirrors in segments which can be shipped compactly and assembled on-location. AM also addres ...

Large Area SiGeSn Detector Arrays
SBC: SK Infrared LLC Topic: AF22AT006We will develop a concept for the wafer-level SiGeSn focal plane arrays on silicon without the need for costly hybridization. We will design and produce a SiGeSn film on a Silicon wafer and fabricate variable area device die for radiometric characterization. This will provide a path for low-cost infrared sensing not currently available. And ultimately will allow infrared devices to be grown ...
