INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: SBIR PHASE I, TOPIC NUMBER O254-009, FARADAY OPTICAL ISOLATOR ON A PHOTONIC INTEGRATED LAS
INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $314,250. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Tagged technology areas: Microelectronics, Communications/Networking. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
This SBIR Phase I award to Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation funds development of a Faraday optical isolator built directly onto a photonic integrated laser circuit. The compact chip-scale device aims to improve laser performance by blocking unwanted light reflections for Army applications.
