PLASMONICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: A15-047
PLASMONICS 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 $99,552. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code A15-047 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
We propose to use metamaterial films to produce flakes for aerosolized obscurants which can have narrow-band transmission windows. We will focus our initial efforts on the visible and SWIR range, but the technique can be extended into out to the LWIR as needed. This effort will proceed with the analytical and computational design of the metamaterial structures which can provide extinction on the order of 4.5 m^2/g for broadband radiation while allowing narrow passbands. We will synthesize a moderate quantity of flakes in Phase I for testing and proof of feasibility.
