The high energy physics (HEP) community, the scientific and medical communities and the public at large, require the availability of high sensitivity photo- sensors with improved spatial and temporal resolution that can be scaled to large areas, and manufactured in a robust, durable, and compact package at a low cost. Phase I successfully demonstrated the underlying enabling scientific and techni ...

The innovation is a new type of Stretched Lens Array (SLA) with a much thinner, lighter and more robust Fresnel lens than prior versions. The new lens enables a full blanket-level specific power > 1,000 W/kg, including lenses, the complete PV cell circuit (including cells, encapsulation, high-voltage insulation, and heavy radiation shielding), and waste heat rejection radiator. The new SLA array ...

The Cosmic-ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) method can measure the water content of soil with 2% accuracy (under optimal conditions) for agriculture-sized (ie., hectometers) scale. The method uses a neutron detector situated above ground in the center of the measurement area, monitoring in real-time the emission of cosmic-ray produced neutrons from the soil. The simple, non-invasive measurement can prov ...

Knowledge-Based Systems Incorporated (KBSI) proposes Simulation in Behaviors and Decisions (SinBaD) in response to the Navy SBIR Warfighting Chess Games and Pieces (topic number N181-083). We will demonstrate proof-of-concept simulation components that have the capability to pit smart red/gray forces against smart blue forces to aid development of timely and effective decision support tools. This ...

High-radiation environments such as the Large Hadron Collider, (LHC) need components which are rad hard to a level of hundreds of Mrad. In addition, because the LHC will receive a high luminosity (HL) upgrade, the data produced will need to be transmitted at the rate of 10’s to 100’s of Tbps. In addition, the solution needs to be low mass. This will be accomplished using an array-able rad hard ...

There is a compelling need for compact high brightness mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) lasers. Applications of such sources include spectroscopic detection of the fingerprint of molecular absorptions, illumination, electronic warfare (EW), and infrared countermeasure (IRCM) systems in response to increasingly sophisticated seeker technologies and increased threat ranges. Todays state-of-the-art hig ...

Particle accelerators need precise, real-time control of the particle beams used to create the conditions required for Nuclear Physics (NP) experiments. The digital feedback of these control systems requires low latency ADCs with high linearity and dynamic range. High performance multichannel digitizers dissipate excessive heat. Therefore, low power dissipation is another critical requirement for ...

PSI and ABS are teaming together again to apply their lightweight deployable litter technology to the challenge of high-g loading of the transported Marine. The PSI and ABS Principal Investigators have already collaborated on the successful development of a collapsible/deployable litter that is half as heavy as the current state of the art and folds into half the volume. In addition to meeting the ...

High peak power short pulsed lasers have been considered to be an enabling technology to build high power transmitters for future deep space high rate space communications. However, to achieve a high peak power at a high repetition rate over 100 MHz and with a short pulse width and >25% wall plug efficiency still remains an issue unsolved. PolarOnyx proposes a novel approach targeting to make 10 M ...
