In the Phase I SBIR effort, AMBP Tech developed a new film deposition technology, Pulsed Arc Molecular Beam Deposition (PAMBD). This new approach to depositing films offers substantial advantages over many existing deposition technologies. We propose to optimize and perfect this technology in a Phase II effort. We will use strategic Collaborations (some providing in-kind services and some provi ...

Aerosol generation is an important leading edge technology with relevance to ballistic missile defense because of the importance of bioearosol generation technology in the development of countermeasures for defence against biological warfare. Aerosol delivery is also an important route for the transmission of naturally occurring particulate materials. The development of new technology for the effi ...

Detection, tracking, and identification of ballistic missiles can benefit significantly from improved correlation of the tracks and detections. Tracks and detections are coming from the optical sensors and the radar sensors for further fusion of data into the single picture of the situation. However, available association/correlation methods are not nearly robust enough. Several radar, EO, and IR ...

We propose to prepare AlN substrates from single-crystal boules of AlN. When properly prepared, these AlN substrates should be superior to all substrates currently available commercially. In particular, the AlN substrates have significantly superior chemical compatibility, lattice/crystal structure match, thermal expansion match, and thermal conductivity when compared to sapphire substrates that ...

EOSPACE proposes to develop a Compact Array of Analog Modulators and Integrated Laser Source (CAAMILS) module for use in a wide-bandwidth analog ladar scene projection system. Under Phase I, EOSPACE used its unique, exceptionally low loss, lithium niobate (LiNbO3) integrated electro-optic waveguide technology to fabricate a practical and cost-effective, yet state-of-the-art, ultra-low-loss, high- ...

EOSPACE Inc. proposes to design and develop a very high-performance coherent Ladar transmitter with the key electro-optical components based on ultra-low-loss, broadband electro-optic lithium niobate waveguide technology, including very-high extinction ratio (>60dB), wide bandwidth (dc to > 1GHz) modulator for 1.06 microns wavelength of operation. An incorporation of optical polarization control c ...

EOSPACE will develop and build a prototype Ultra-Compact and Robust High Performance RF-Photonic Module for use in MDA/Military High Dynamic Range Radar applications. The compact module will achieve a two-fold (2x) reduction in size, weight and power while maintaining high performance operations over extended temperature ranges. A unique EOSPACE extended temperature, and high dynamic range modulat ...

Due to a mature material growth and processing technology of InP and InGaAs, lattice-mismatched 2.5 um(0.55 ev )InGaAs/InP is identified as the most promising Thermophotovoltaic(TPV) material system for the next generation of monolithic interconnected modules(MIMs). Compared to GaSb and quaternary InGaAsSb, InP and InGaAs offer many critical advantages; (l)the existence of semi-insulating InP subs ...
