ABSTRACT:The objective of the overall SBIR program is to develop a high performance mid-format (512 x 512, with 30 micron pitch) broad-band mid-wave (MW, 5 micron cut-off wavelength at 200K) infrared (IR) focal plane arrays (FPAs) using InAs/GaSb strained layer superlattices (SLS). SKINfrared LLC (SKI), a spin-off from the Krishna Infrared Detector (KIND) Nanostructures laboratory at the Universit ...

Bridger Photonics proposes developing an optical metrology probe with a wavelength greater than 2 microns capable of transmitting through key infrared materials, achieving

Bridger Photonics proposes developing a disruptive metrology probe capable of achieving 1 kHz update rates and measurement ranges exceeding 10 cm. This probe will be coupled with OptiPro Systems' 5-axis air-bearing UltraSurf stage to provide optical figure and transmitted wavefront error of large aspheric optics including conformal windows, aerodynamic domes, and corrector optics.

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in the commercial market space known as hyperspectral imaging. The products that result from this project will have applications in many important industries for identifying and characterizing materials and tissues through their unique spectral (color) characteristics. One important applica ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will provide affordable, three-dimensional (3D) microscopic imaging through the use of an electronically-controlled, focusing element. Scientists desire to observe biological phenomena in intact, living cells or animals that occur on fast time scales. Recent advances in fluorescent markers have significantly improved tracking of drug delivery ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is that it will provide greater visibility into network behavior and help identify problems before they occur in the network. Advances in cloud computing and network virtualization are changing the way networks are designed and monitored. This project will help small and medium businesses adap ...

Implementing multiple object payloads on a single boost vehicle is a force multiplier that has the potential to overcome countermeasure challenges. The LoadPath Multiple Object Deployment System (MODS) is an advanced mechanism that will enable reliable Multi-Object Payloadrestraint and deployment.MODS provides a compact integrated design that supports varying quantities of kill vehicles per booste ...

PROJECT SUMMARY This program aims to develop a novel non opioid therapeutic for the treatment of pain that targets a subtype of the human voltage gated Na ion channel NaV Preliminary data indicate that SiteOneandapos s lead drug candidates may be more effective than opioids for treating certain types of pain and lack the side effects associated with opioid analgesics which include nausea ...

This SBIR will develop passive reactor criticality control technology for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) identified by Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) in Phase 1. This technology will allow NTP systems to start up by rotating the control drums to a single predetermined location and remain there for the duration of operation for the majority of the burns associated with a Mars mission. Pas ...

In this Phase II SBIR program, Southwest Sciences will continue the development of small, low power instrumentation for real-time direct measurement of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) in the atmosphere, especially targeting airborne measurements. The instrument is based on a room temperature interband cascade laser (ICL) operating in the 4800 - 4900 nm region. This laser has a substantially reduced (by a ...
