About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded General Opto Solutions, LLC a $496,977 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract in June 2020 to develop and deliver clad crystalline fibers for high energy laser applications. The 18-month effort, performed in State College, Pennsylvania, focused on producing ultra-high thermal conductivity rare earth doped clad crystalline fibers to support advanced laser research and development initiatives. As a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned firm specializing in optical fiber manufacturing, General Opto Solutions brought established expertise in crystalline fiber technologies and prior work supporting Department of Defense directed energy programs to this engagement.
This contract represents part of the Air Force's broader investment in fiber laser technologies capable of scaling to higher power levels for potential directed energy applications. The company's work on double-clad crystalline fibers directly supports the advancement of solid-state laser materials, aligning with DoD interests in next-generation laser capabilities. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, and the contract concluded in January 2022 with no subcontractor information provided in the available documentation.
