About this award

This is a $1,460,394.00 Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, to design and demonstrate efficient linear frequency converters by integrating metasurfaces with engineered quantum systems. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type.

A subcontract was awarded to Vanderbilt University to fabricate and demonstrate the frequency-converting metasurface elements designed by SRI International. Vanderbilt University is a private research university that has a history of securing federal contracts and grants across diverse research domains.

The original DARPA solicitation sought innovative proposals to advance the understanding of light-matter interactions and enable new approaches to manipulating electromagnetic waves through engineered structures and materials. This contract is aimed at developing these types of transformative capabilities in the area of frequency conversion technologies.
