TRANSWAVE PHOTONICS, LLC — Department of Defense STTR Phase I: N22A-T013
TRANSWAVE PHOTONICS, LLC — 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 $140,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N22A-T013 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
TransWave Photonics proposes a long-wave infrared (LWIR) InP-based waveguide platform capable to deliver >10 W continuous wave power without causing any mirror damage. Our waveguides are built on low loss material systems that allow for on-chip long distance light propagation, high-level photonic integration, and monolithic integration of long-wavelength quantum cascade laser sources. Successful demonstration of our proposed work in Phase I will lead to high power damage free waveguide devices as well as high power LWIR source system generating more than 10 W power at room temperature.
