The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Large-scale manufacturing of photorefractive polymers by precision injection molding

    SBC: N.P. PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Photorefractive polymers have emerged as a powerful class of real-time and reconfigurable holographic recording materials. This project will focus on the development of thermoplastic photorefractive polymers that can be fabricated into various films and shapes by precision injection molding and/or by extrusion. This effort will lead to large-scale manufacturing of low cost and reliable organic pho ...

  2. Novel ER3+ Glass Fiber Amplifiers with Extremely High Gain Coefficient

    SBC: N.P. PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop novel Er3+-doped glass fiber amplifiers for the lossless beam splitter of the 1.54 um optical communication networks . This special glass fiber will exhibit both ultra high gain coefficient and extremely low cost, less than 1% of today's price. Our goal is to demonstrate a gain coefficient greater than 5dB/cm in this special glass fiber . Therefore, the length of the Er3+--do ...

  3. Heterogeneous VCSEL Array Integration with Silicon Substrate

    SBC: N.P. PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to heterogeneously integrate a large array (64x64) of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with a silicon substrate. This work takes advantage of the recently developed applique technique that quasi-monolithically integrates VCSELs with foundry processed CMOS chips. This development work will concentrate on obtaining yields of 100% for VCSELs in the array while maintaining t ...

  4. High-Power, Frequency-Stabilized Diode Laser for Raman Spectroscopy

    SBC: PROCESS INSTRUMENTS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop intermediate to high power (.1 to 4 W), frequency- stable diode lasers with high modulation capability and long life. Our approach can provide fixed-frequency radiation sources for 1 pace-based ballistic missile defense applications. To demonstrate the technology we will develop a compact, lightweight, relatively inexpensive, proprietary external-cavity-stabilized diode laser ...

  5. Development of AlGaN/SiC Epitaxial Wafers

    SBC: TECHNOLOGIES & DEVICES INTERNATIONAL,            Topic: N/A

    We propose to develop AlGaN/SiC epitaxial wafers to be used as substrates for III-V nitride homoepitaxy. Lack of GaN and AIN substrates for homoepitaxy limits the development of electronic devices based on III-V nitrides. TDI has demonstrated that thin (~0.5 Sun) high quality GaN layers can be grown on silicon carbide wafers by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). These structures, consisting of a ...

  6. Development of silicon carbide epitaxial wafers with reduced micropipe density

    SBC: TECHNOLOGIES & DEVICES INTERNATIONAL,            Topic: N/A

    In this project Technologies and Devices International, Inc. (TDI) proposes-to develop silicon carbide (SiC) substrate material with reduced micropipe density. Our recent testing has demonstrated that micr( pipe density in SiC commercial wafers can be significantly reduced by filling micropipe channels in these wafers using a new SiC epitaxial approach After filling the micropipe in the initial wa ...

  7. Solid State High Voltage Power Supply

    SBC: THORDIS CORP.            Topic: N/A

    This project proposes to exploit the Giant Magnetostriction of Terfenol-D, along with the properties of piezoelectric ceramics to develop a new class of electric voltage transformer. The Magnetostrictive Piezoelectric Charge Pump (MPCP), when perfected, will provide a new option for the generation of high-voltage electricity. MPCP devices can be built in a wide range of configurations. The primary ...

  8. Freeform Fabrication of Cost & Weight Efficient Hot Gas Valves

    SBC: Ceramic Composites, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The proposed work addresses limitations in current methods used to fabricate fluidic hot gas valve bodies for divert propulsion. Fluidic valves are preferred over more conventional valves because of their extremely fast response time, on the order of several milliseconds. Fluidic valve bodies however, present significant fabrication challenges due to the complicated internal flow channels and cavi ...

  9. CRYOGENICALLY COOLED CONTROLLED SWITCH FOR SPACE POWER CONDITIONING

    SBC: Hmj Corp.            Topic: N/A

    A SOLID STATE SWITCH FOR OPERATION AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE IS BEING DEVELOPED THAT WILL PROVIDE MULTI-MEGAWATT POWER CONDITIONING IN THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING FIELD OF LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTRONICS. SINCE EXISTING CONTROLLED SWITCHES ARE NOT DIRECTLY SUITABLE FOR CRYOGENIC OPERATION, ONLY A FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH CAN DEVELOP STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF LOW LOSS AND RELIABLE OPERATION IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE B ...

  10. MAINTENANCE-AND-VIBRATION-FREE SOLID ELECTROLYTE CRYOGENIC COOLER

    SBC: LONE PEAK ENGINEERING COMPANY            Topic: N/A

    THE COOLING REQUIRED FOR THE PROPER OPERATION OF VARIOUS SENSORS AND INSTRUMENTS IS A KEY PROBLEM IN SPACE-BASED FACILITIES. A NOVEL CONCEPT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AT LONE PEAK ENGINEERING BASED ON THE COMPRESSION OF A GAS TO HIGH PRESSURES USING A SOLID ELECTROLYTE COMPRESSOR. RAPID EXPANSION OF THE COMPRESSED GAS (JOULE-THOMSON EFFECT) CAN BE USED TO COOL SPACECRAFT INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT. SOME O ...
