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 Compact High Current Driver for Semiconductor Diode Lasers, Suitable for Laser Radar (LADR) Applications

    SBC: Garron Instrument Engineering            Topic: N/A

    A fast-pulsed (3-15ns FWHM) high-current (>500A) driver for high power diode lasers or laser arrays is proposed. Present high-current diode drivers typically use MOSFET switches to modulate the current. It is difficult to achieve very fast pulses with such devices because the inherent capacitance of the gate electrode cannot be charged and discharged quickly. Lower current, but faster diode driver ...

  3. A Compact X-Ray Laser

    SBC: Tetra Corporation            Topic: N/A

    The advanced technology described in this proposal promises to increase the performance of laboratory and, specifically, tabletop x-ray lasers by up to an order of magnitude. Such gains in performance coupled with compact technology will lead to the introduction of the world s first table-top, commercial x-ray laser. Tetra proposes to develop an advanced driver for the laboratory laser based upo ...

  4. Actively Cooled Minority-Carrier Devices for Power Conditioning

    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 ( ...

  5. Active Mirror Laser Amplifier Pumped by New Solid State Light Source Using Selective Thermal Emission

    SBC: QUANTUM GROUP, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A new light source using dielectric solids has been under development since the 1980s for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) generation of electricity. The light source is a dielectric refractory solid emitter heated to relatively high temperatures (~1 500_C) by combustion, nuclear or other heat sources. This new light technology has now reached the maturity to be applied to the optical pumping of high powe ...

  6. Active Mode Millimeter Wave Imaging

    SBC: K&c Tech., Inc.            Topic: N/A

    This proposal addresses an approach to millimeter wave imaging called encoded image detection (EID). The concept offers a means of achieving a low cost, all weather seeker for smart munition and submunitions. Its low cost potential makes adaptation of the imager also attractive for a variety of other military applications such as search and rescue, surveillance, and security. Most current devel ...

  7. Active Multi-Functional Polymeric Material With Modulation, Switching, and Amplification Capabilities

    SBC: RADIANT RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The achievement in realizing low-loss waveguides on any surface of interests using photolime gel polymer motivates us to further investigate the feasibility of employing such a unique material as a multi-functional polymer that can provide modulation, switching, wavelength conversion and amplification simultaneously on any optoelectronic substrate of interest. In this program, we propose to resear ...

  8. Actuator for Out-Of-Plane MEMS Devices

    SBC: Tini Alloy Company            Topic: N/A

    The proposed research program is an innovative solution to a critical problem: maintaining stable distance between front and back covers in large, evacuated flat electronic visual displays. Evacuation is necessary because atmospheric pressure distorts the front and back plane surfaces. A solution consists of placing many small columns between the surfaces to hold them apart at a precise distance. ...
