ADVALUE PHOTONICS INC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N201-016
ADVALUE 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 $237,451. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N201-016 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
In this proposal we propose a new method in fabricating a chalcogenide amplifier that amplifies directly in the MWIR with high slope-efficiency, diffraction limited beam quality and provide a pathway to high output powers. This next generation high performing amplifier will specifically be developed for amplifications of QCL’s to suit the needs of naval infrared applications. During Phase I we will design, demonstrate and characterize amplifiers, provide the amplification power-scaling results and show path to meeting Phase II goals.
