N.P. PHOTONICS, INC. — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: N22A-T010
N.P. PHOTONICS, INC. — STTR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I STTR 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 $240,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N22A-T010 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Fiber optical isolators with kilowatt power handling capability are in great demand for high-energy all-fiber laser systems. NP Photonics proposes to design and develop fiber optical isolators using our innovative fiber Faraday rotators and polarizers. The proposed fiber optical isolators have the advantages of high-power handling, compactness, and high reliability. In this Phase I program, we will investigate the feasibility and study the risk of developing kW-class fiber optical isolators based on innovative fiber designs. In Phase II, kW-class fiber optical isolators meeting or exceeding the requirements for submarine high energy laser amplifiers will be developed and tested.
