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. A Cryogenic Refrigeration System for Superconducting Generators

    SBC: ENERGEN, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Superconducting rotating machinery has been proposed as a means of achieving greater efficiency in electrical power generation and utilization. Furthermore, superconducting generators and motors have the potential to be more compact thereby increasing the flexibility of system designs as well as potentially reducing manufacturing costs. However, commercialization of this technology is gated by the ...

  2. Actively Cooled Minority-Carrier Devices for Power Conditioners

    SBC: AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    New power semiconductor device performance is limited by cooling because high heat-flux cooling systems have not matched their increased power density. Therefore, real designs rarely achieve device ratings. American Superconductor (ASC) demonstrated CryoPower+, which cools a variety of power MOSFET topologies by direct immersion in coolants from 77-300K, with boiling where appropriate. CryoPower ( ...

  3. Adaptive, High Performance Wireless Multiwavelength, Hybrid Terrestrial Laser Communication Network

    SBC: EAGLE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC            Topic: N/A

    Eagle Optoelectronics, LLC proposes to develop a wireless terrestrial laser communi-cation network for eyesafe operation in the 1.5 um wavelength range. The system uses an innovative low cost double-cladding Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) technology which is currently under development at the Naval Research Laboratory. Because of the operation in the 1.5 um wavelength band, the wireless part ...

  4. A high bit rate optical analog to digital converter

    SBC: RAMAR CORP.            Topic: N/A

    High speed optical computing and optical signal processing has produced considerable interest in the development of high resolution, high sampling rate optical analog to digital converters. High speed ADCs that utilize integrated optical waveguide technology play an important role in the development of these systems. Ramar Corp. proposes a novel optical A/D converter design which replaces the stan ...

  5. A More Efficient RF Plasma Electric Thruster

    SBC: New England Space Works, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    New England Space Works proposes a more efficient RF plasma electric thruster. RF plasma thrusters have many advantages over other electric propulsion types. Specific impulse is higher than for electrothermal thrusters. There are no electrodes or grids in contact with the plasma, so thruster lifetime should be better than other schemes. The simple plasma geometry leads to easy scaling to large ...

  6. A New Ultra Light Weight Power Source

    SBC: SUNDYE            Topic: N/A

    This program will produce a portable, efficient, lightweight, flexible, cost effective solar power source. Small area, prototype devices, weighing the equivalent of less than 100 grams per square meter have been reduced to practice. At even modest efficiencies our system will be capable of producing hundreds of watts per kilogram. If necessary our system can employ hardened components for harsh mi ...

  7. A Paradigm Shift in Infrared Imaging

    SBC: SUNDYE            Topic: N/A

    Progress made in infrared imaging systems in recent years has been remarkable. Despite the high cost and limited size, systems based on materials such as silicon germanium or antimonides have produced adequate quantum efficiencies, dark current, full well capacity and frame rates such that military systems as well as commercial products are now available. Unfortunately high cost and limited size a ...

  8. Applicaiton of Nitrogen Gas Cluster Beams for Reacitve Formation of GaN Thin Films at Low Temperatures

    SBC: Epion Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Nitride semiconductors have characteristics of interest for future electronic and optoelectronic devices. Improved thin film growth techniques for these materials will be required. Beams of energetic gas cluster ions comprised of hundreds or thousands of nitrogen molecules can be formed. Upon impact on solid surfaces, cluster ions are able to produce a number of effects which are not produced by m ...

  9. A Robust Miniature, Multi-function, Dense WDM Demultiplexer/Receiver

    SBC: EAGLE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC            Topic: N/A

    This effort may be viewed as attempting to find the lowest technology, and thus, first commercializable use of meso-optics devices. These devices exploit wavelength-scale complex geometries and precision fabrication techniques to achieve their functionality. One of the conceptually simplest and most powerful devices is a high-resolution WDM demultiplexer. This proposal intends to extend research r ...

  10. A 5 Terabit/Second EO Transceiver (Q-DOT Research Proposal 9551)

    SBC: Q-DOT, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Q-DOT proposes to develop a small, light weight, low-power, multi-channel EO trans-ceiver capable of 10 Gbit/second/channel to support emerging high-speed processors. Currently, the performance of both ground-based and missile-borne processors is constrained by slow data links. As processors continue to increase in speed and complexity, the need for a high speed data link will become acute. The p ...
