About this award
Praevium Research Inc. was awarded an $850K Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by NASA's Shared Services Center on June 13, 2023, to develop ruggedized microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) integrated with high-speed data acquisition capabilities for fiber optic sensing applications. The contract, set aside for small businesses under the total small business set-aside program, is scheduled for completion by June 12, 2025, and will be performed in Goleta, California. This Phase II award builds upon prior research demonstrating the feasibility of advanced photonic technologies for sensing and measurement applications, advancing the company's core competency in tunable VCSEL and MEMS integration.
Praevium Research engaged Sensuron LLC as a subcontractor, effective March 31, 2024, to integrate the developed Praevium lasers into a fiber optic measurement system and evaluate performance characteristics. Sensuron, a Goleta-based specialist in fiber optic sensing technologies, brings relevant expertise in sensing system integration and validation to support the contract objectives. This collaboration leverages complementary capabilities—Praevium's advanced photonic device development and Sensuron's fiber optic measurement system expertise—to deliver a fully integrated solution for high-speed optical sensing applications that have potential utility across aerospace, research, and structural health monitoring markets.
