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. High Repetition Rate Mid-Infrared Laser for IRCM

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    A high repetition rate mid infrared laser (3-5 microns) capable of providing multispectral output covering all bands used by infrared missile would make a solid state laser based IRCM system a potentially attractive replacement for black body infrared jammers. We propose a novel laser concept that can provide the desired spectral output at repetition rates exceeding the current state-of-the-art. W ...

  2. Tunable Laser Radar Source

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Aculight proposes the development of a frequency tunable source suitable for LADAR measurements from compact military platforms. The source will use a fixed frequency diode pumped solid state drive laser and an optical parametric oscillator, tunable from 1.6 to 2.4 microns. Output energies will be over 100 micro-J through the spectral range at pulse rates of 10kHz. The major technical challenge, ...

  3. PHASE-LOCKED MICROLASER ARRAY

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    IN AN EFFORT TO REACH HIGHER POWERS, LASER RESEARCHERS HAVE DEVELOPED LARGER AND INCREASINGLY COMPLEX DEVICES. AN ALTERNATE SCALING APPROACH IS TO COMBINE THE OUTPUT POWER OF MANY SIMPLE LOW-POWER LASERS IN AN ARRAY. MICROLASERS ARE THE PERFECT ARRAY ELEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE MASS-PRODUCIBLE AND HAVE POLARIZED, SINGLE-FREQUENCY, DIFFRACTION-LIMITED OUTPUTS. RESEARCHERS HAVE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE M ...

  4. 1-3 Micron Tunable Diode Pumped Solid State Laser Sources

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    High pulse energy, high repetition rate, tunable, narrowband sources are needed for optical pumping of mid-infrared gas laser converters. The source needs continuous tunability over the 1-3 micron band to access different overtone bands in various gaseous gain media. Due to the need for diode pumping of the source, efficiency is critical to minimizing diode costs. Our approach is efficient gene ...

  5. Compact Mid-Infrared Laser

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Significant deficiencies exist in the laser source technology for IRCM, specifically in the limited pulse rep-rate capability, limited average power output and capability to be transitioned to military environments. We propose a novel tandem OPO concept that uses two noncritical phasematched OPO's in KTA and AgGaSe(2) to generate the desired three output wavelength bands simultaneously. This con ...

  6. Compact, High Pulse Rate, Mid-Infrared laser

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop and deliver a compact, high pulse repetition rate, mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator wavelength converter and cw fiber coupled diode pumped, Q-switched, Nd:YV04 diode pumped laser. A new nonlinear material, periodic poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) enables an OPO to efficiently convert low energy pulses (150 microjoules) into the mid-infrared wavelengths. By changing t ...

  7. CW Mid-Infrared Tandem OPO Source

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    CW mid-IR sources, capable of delivering 5 Watts of average power, are required in the 2-5 micron range for IR counter measures. To date, solid state laser approaches have been limited to less than 1-2 Watts of average power due to absorption and adverse thermal effects in the nonlinear materials. Our approach to solving this problem is to use a relatively new nonlinear material, bulk ...

  8. Ultra Narrowband Optical Parametric Oscillator

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Presently there are no broadly tenable, narrow linewidth souces that operate throughout the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region of the spectrum, from 1 to 5 microns. Traditional sources have very low spectral brightness (low power per unit spectral bandwidth). This proposal describes a novel approach to produce a source with very high spectral brightness, tunable over the range of 1.1 to 4.3 microns. ...

  9. Robust Multifunction Laser

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    The high cost of near-to-mid infrared laser sources is problematic for many military applications, such as seekers where sources are short lived. Order-of-magnitude cost reductions are needed for 10-20 watt, 1-micron lasers. The proposed approach to reducing costs involves using novel manufacturing processes to greatly reduce parts count and assembly time, thus reducing cost. When applied to a ...

  10. Low Power Long Wave Infrared Laser Sources

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: N/A

    With new detectors capable of sensing 7.5 - 9 micron wavelengths, a future threat is emerging since these detectors can be used in seekers. The need is to counter this threat with a laser source operating at 7.5 - 9 microns. The source requirements are 5 - 10 Watts of average power and a repetition rate of > 10 kHz. The proposed laser source is a Nd:YAG-pumped tandem OPO system consisting o ...
