The overall objective of the proposed work is to demonstrate electrically pumped, high-efficiency and long-lifetime, near-UV, solid-state laser diodes (LDs) based on AlGaN MQWs grown on native, single crystalline GaN substrates. The targeted laser diodes will emit between 330 - 350 nm with an emission power exceeding 1 W. These lasers will find application in remote Raman spectroscopy applications ...

The ultimate goal of the phase II effort is to build Si-based PCSS 10kV-modules and compare coupling of those modules to different microwave radiation technologies. The microwave radiating technologies include at least non-linear transmission lines and direct drive antenna; comparisons and system-level tradeoffs will be identified through normalized field measurements.

Arizona Optical Systems has developed the breakthrough technology FORM (Flexible Optical Ray Metrology) that measures complex aspheric windows in transmission.Powerful tomographic software and careful calibration are used to determine the surface irregularity of both surfaces of the window.Having performed the key demonstration of the FORM technique, we now propose to develop an infrared version o ...

Phase II of this program builds on the remarkable progress that was made in Phase I toward the development of single crystal GaN films grown on polycrystalline diamond substrates. As the overall goal of the program is related to the development of a low-cost manufacturing process to produce GaN on diamond templates for RFIC applications, our technical objectives are pointed toward this goal. In Ph ...

Phase II of this SBIR research effort fosters the next step of introduction and application in the development of a bistatic capability for surface and submarine Mid-Frequency (MF) active sonar systems. This development will enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability in strike group or coordinated surface and submarine ASW operations. Phase II builds on progress made in Phase I to develop and ...

The Navy’s Fleet-Class Common Unmanned Surface Vessel (CUSV) demands associated subsystems function with robust reliability and minimal operator intervention in order to operate at peak effectiveness. Mine Warfare’s (MIW) inherently hazardous nature requires particular focus on reducing manning requirements and simplifying operator machine interface (OMI) in order to minimize danger to personn ...

Integration of the sailor into the Navy’s system of systems onboard ship and off will enable improvements to the availability of mission-critical information to both the sailor and the Command. This integration is to be accomplished through embedding electronic system functionality into the sailor’s uniform, enabling what Propel has named the Smart Integrated Uniform™(SIU). Through selective ...

This Phase II proposal is to enhance the propulsion, hull form, navigation systems, and add biological hazard sensing to the basic autonomous mobile buoy (AMB) platform. This will be based upon the lessons learned and adaptive missions that have been identified during previous development efforts for aircraft controlled and deployed small unattended surface sensors. The project will specifically l ...

Several military platforms are beginning qualification of fusion additive manufacturing such as e-beam of Ti-6Al-4V and other titanium alloys for production of new, replacement and repaired components. Non-destructive testing (NDT) standards are required to identify multiple defect types and their absence to qualify e-beam or other fusion additive manufactured parts. The Phase I program demonstrat ...
