LAWRENCE SEMICONDUCTOR RESEARCH LABORATORY, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: SBIR PHASE I, TOPIC NUMBER A254-032, EMERGING MATERIALS FOR CRYOGENIC OPTICAL MODULATION

LAWRENCE SEMICONDUCTOR RESEARCH LABORATORY, 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 $249,877. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
  • Tagged technology areas: Materials & Manufacturing, Microelectronics. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.

Informational capture context from public federal data — not legal or bid advice.

Summary

This SBIR Phase I award supports research into new materials that can control or modulate light signals at extremely low (cryogenic) temperatures. The work targets potential defense uses in advanced optical systems for the Army.
