N.P. PHOTONICS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N221-041
N.P. PHOTONICS, INC. — 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 $240,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N221-041 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
NP Photonics proposes to develop a compact high-power mid-wave infrared laser system by taking advantage of its substantial capability and experience in mid-wave infrared fibers and fiber lasers. The proposed mid-wave infrared laser system has the advantages of high-efficiency, high power scalability, high beam quality, and broad spectral coverage. In the Phase I program, we will investigate the feasibility and study the risk of developing a mid-wave infrared laser system based on our unique optical fibers. In Phase II, a 100-W high-power laser source covering 3.5-4.1 micron and 4.6-4.9 micron sub-bands will be developed and delivered.
