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. AOTF Based Spectro-Polarimetric Imaging System for Stand-off Chemical Detection

    SBC: BRIMROSE TECHNOLOGY CORP            Topic: CBD13104

    Our goal in this SBIR project is to develop a lightweight, low-power, inexpensive hyperspectral spectro-polarimetric imaging sensor for wide area standoff detection of chemical agents. The imaging system will employ an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) that operates in the LWIR wavelength range. The sensor will have polarimetric imaging capabilities which, adds a valuable signature feature to im ...

  2. Open-Path Spatial Ring Down Spectrometer for Chemical Vapor Detection

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: CBD171004

    Physical Science Inc. (PSI) will develop a new approach to chemical vapor detection based on a novel open-path sample cell design. The PhaseI system level model predicts SNR supporting a probability of detection of 95% and a MTBFA of 168 hours for all relevant CWAs and TICs at the10 minute negligible MEG level at a 20 s measurement time. In addition to robust detection, the system design can provi ...

  4. Efficient Materials for Optical Cryocoolers

    SBC: ThermoDynamic Films LLC            Topic: CBD171001

    This Phase-II SBIR proposal directly addresses the need to improve the size, weight and power, SWaP, of optical cryocoolers. In particular, the proposers will work toward increasing the efficiency of optical cryocoolers by incorporating cooling materials that require less input laser power to achieve a given heat lift. The new cooling materials will be high-purity crystals doped with active rare-e ...

  5. Development of Solid-state Optical Cooler Materials to Replace Conventional Cryocoolers Used for Cooling SWIR and LWIR Infrared Detectors and Focal-plane-arrays

    SBC: N.P. PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: CBD171001

    Electro-optical infrared and long wavelength infrared detectors and sensors are increasingly important for the Chemical/Biological Defense community. Solid-state optical cooler materials are in demand for replacing mechanical closed cycle coolers used in current LWIR standoff sensors to achieve cryogenic temperatures. Recent advances in optical cooling of rare-earth doped materials are pointing to ...

  6. MicroLens Hyperspectral Imager for Standoff Chemical Detection

    SBC: SURFACE OPTICS CORP.            Topic: CBD171002

    A program to develop a compact, MLA-based, LWIR, full-motion-video hyperspectral imager for chemical detection is proposed. The proposed Hyperspectral Chemical Imaging Sensor (HyCIS) builds upon Surface Optics’ real-time hyperspectral imaging activities, including our 3D full-motion-video spectral imaging (FMV-SI) technology and our MIDIS hyperspectral image processor. Simultaneously sampling 16 ...

  7. MicroLens Hyperspectral Imager for Standoff Chemical Detection

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: CBD171002

    For standoff chemical identification applications, the longwave infrared has several key lines for spectral discrimination. Unfortunately, most hyperspectral systems are quite large and fragile, making them unwieldy. Nanohmics proposes to demonstrate a chip-scale longwave infrared hyperspectral imaging technology. The weight and packaging volume will be dominated by the fore-optics instead of the ...

  8. MicroLens Hyperspectral Imager for Standoff Chemical Detection

    SBC: SA PHOTONICS, LLC            Topic: CBD171002

    SA Photonics is please to submit the proposal for the HawkEye compact LWIR hyperspectral imaging system. HawkEye leverages SA Photonics previous visible, SWIR, and LWIR programs to result in a compact, hand held, battery operated hyperspectral imager in a low cost design approach. Furthermore, HawkEye will leverages SA Photonics expertise in warfighter body worn equipment and ground troop personal ...

  10. Tomographic Nanoscopy for Pathogen Identification

    SBC: SOLID STATE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION            Topic: CBD171003

    This Phase II effort prototypes a minimal volume microscope designed to allow for a 2-D digital holographic imaging concurrent with field of view spectral content at video frame rates. The use of a laser driven IR dual beam frequency comb, coincident with the optical beam path required for a digital holographic image, will allow rapid acquisition of both the spatial and the spectral content associ ...
