NANOHMICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: DMEA231-005
NANOHMICS 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 $158,900. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code DMEA231-005 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Vertical Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches can be designed to support numerous filaments that simultaneously conduct current. A two dimensional array of current channels can be lithographically patterned on the surface of a substrate to achieve significant power scaling. One of the challenged is coupling the optical trigger signal efficiently into the filament apertures. Nanohmics will design PCSS devices with durable structured optical apertures to reduce Fresnel reflection loss and microlens arrays to improve coupling efficiency.
