ADVALUE PHOTONICS INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: S1
ADVALUE PHOTONICS INC — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration 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 $124,128. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code S1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The NASArsquo;s Doppler Aerosol WiNd (DAWN) lidar system needs a pulsed single frequency laser operating near 2 micron lase wavelength. We propose a new type of Tm-doped fiber for this application. The overall objective of this proposal is to demonstrate and build a single frequency near 2 micron fiber laser with pulse energy of greater than 30mJ. Tm-doped gain fiber with excellent radiation resistance against high energy radiation will be used. This proposed laser will be all-fiber PM laser with a beam quality of 1.2. In Phase II we will demonstrate and deliver a packaged 2 micron single frequency fiber laser with 30mJ pulse energy to NASA.
