The goal of this program is to demonstrate a high-resolutionactive ranging system using low-temperature-grown (ltg) gaas photoconductors as depth sensors. these newly-developed solid-state devices are characterized by an exceptionally broad frequency response (up to 375 ghz @ -3 db) and a very high… More

The Phase I goal is to build energy-efficient, compact femtosecond optical sources, and demonstrate diode-pumped lasers that can generate femtosecond pulses via self-modelocking. Only readily available 750-nm diode lasers will be used as pump source. Existing subpicosecond sources are complex… More

The goal of this research is to fabricate a high-sensitivity nanoprobe with the capability of directly determining the lateral location of atoms and molecules on nonconducting surfaces with extremely good spatial resolution (100 nm) and very high sensitivity (atomole). the nanoprobe combines… More

The goal of this program is to develop compact, reliable lasers producing intense (millijoule) femtosecond pulses at high repetition rates. These lasers will be designed to operate in industrial environments and will be ideally suited for non-linear optical diagnostics. During the Phase I we… More

This program will demonstrate key enabling technologies for Terabit/second optical fiber networks capable of meeting critical DoD needs. Optical network technology offers characteristics that satisfy many DoD requirements. These characteristics include improved data handling through… More

We will develop a compact, robust, and user-friendly laser Source for 2-photon excitation in lasermicroscopy. The use of 2-photon excitation in confocal microscopy offers a number of advantages forphysiology; however, the use of this technique is currently limited due to the specialized nature… More

"The goal of this Phase I program is to define the system concept (including hardware and software) needed to produce holes whose entrance, bore, and exit are contoured to user-defined parameters, reliably and repeatedly time-after-time, with a minimum ofintervention by the user, and in less than… More

Phase II of this SBIR Program will implement the technology and methods developed in Phase I by constructing a manufacturing workstation (the

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad, long-term objective of this program is to develop the tools, protocols and facilities needed to produce multielectrode arrays (MEAs) out of known biocompatible materials for eventual use in humans. This will require construction and commissioning of a… More

DoD policy requires a 2-dimensional data matrix machine-readable, item unique identification (IUID) as defined in MIL-STD-130 on expensive and critical aircraft components such as jet engine parts. Laser marking is ideal because it requires no special fixture, it can be done from an angle on complex… More
