As the demand for smaller, lighter, and more cost effective optical subsystems increases, many optical system designers see a growing application for advanced holographic lens technology. Having a lens whose thickness does not increase with increasing diameter or focal length is extremely beneficial for reducing size and weight in UAV and satellite imaging applications.TIPDs Phase I SBIR program w ...

Arets proposed innovation delivers a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HiL) test-bed and Software Sensor Simulator for the Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance and Analysis (COBRA) program at the end of the Phase 2 SBIR. The proposed platform ultimately relates existing and future COBRA sensors to COBRA system performance (Pd/Pfa) using a common test-bed while reducing the need for expensive flight tests. The p ...

A thulium-based high peak-power system is proposed for generating wavelengths near 1.89m, suitable for conversion to blue wavelengths near 473nm via fourth-harmonic generation. The proposed 1.89m system will be capable of producing 80mJ per pulse at PRFs greater than 200Hz,

Aret proposes a rugged, compact, and efficient high-power ultraviolet (UV) sources which will have critical benefits for naval air platforms. The proposed laser will be capable of operating in 320355 nm spectral region, achieve > 5W of optical power with excellent beam-quality (M2 < 2), and achieve extremely-low SWaP, including > 10% wall-plug efficiency. Our approach adds key innovations to prove ...

This SBIR Phase I proposal requests support for Alphacore, Inc. to design and characterize a 40Gsps (giga-samples per-second), 7-bit (ENOB > 6 bits), low-power (

Beam steering phased array antenna systems, 100Gb/s fiber optic receivers and a number of other systems under development by DoD and by the industry demand for ultrafast sampling ADCs to digitize the RF and broadband fiber optic signals for further processing in digital domain. Pacific Microchip Corp. proposes to design, produce and commercialize an 8-bit 56GS/s ADC which includes a novel backgrou ...

GU injuries have been amplified as dismounted patrols have increased and frequent exposure to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in recent conflicts. Penile injury incurred on the battle field increases the complication of performing replantation surgery. Generally, more time is required beyond the available 6 hours of biological time after dissection for autogenous reconstruction. Promisingly, h ...

Triton Systems proposes to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a clinically-viable implantable electrode with mechanical properties compatible with nervous tissue in the peripheral nervous system. The proposed intrafascicular electrode utilizes a combination of recently developed materials that i) enable excellent conductivity, good strength and high compliance and ii) provide a rapid trans ...

It has long been known that analog computers can be faster and more power efficient than digital processors by many orders of magnitude. Until the 1970s analog computers were the dominant controllers in most industrial and military applications. Even today digital processors are still slower and more power consumptive than analog, but offer much more flexibility (programmability) and precision. ...
