About this award
This is a $6,205,700 federal contract award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a prestigious private research university, for the Lasers for Universal Microscale Optical Systems (LUMOS) program. The contract, which is not set aside, aims to develop heterogeneous photonic integrated circuit platforms that incorporate on-chip optical gain to enable highly-capable integrated photonics systems for disruptive optical microsystems.
The contract involves several major subcontractors, including the University of Virginia for high-speed, high-power photodetectors, Hyperlight Corporation for lithium niobate photonic components, Freedom Photonics for semiconductor laser technologies, and Photonic Systems, Inc. for RF photonic links. The LUMOS program seeks to integrate high-power light sources with low-loss components for light manipulation and detection, enabling operation beyond 100 GHz for a range of microwave photonics applications. This contract award demonstrates DARPA's ongoing investment in advancing integrated photonics and optical microsystems capabilities for potential defense and dual-use applications.
Description
Lasers for universal microscale optical systems (lumos) will bring efficient on-chip optical gain to highly-capable integrated photonics platforms and enable complete photonics functionality on a single substrate for disruptive optical microsystems.
