About this award
Ultra-Low Loss Technologies, Inc. was awarded a $4.4 million firm fixed price definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop lasers for universal microscale optical systems (LUMOS) under the agency's Microsystems Technology Office program. The contract aligns with DARPA's solicitation seeking innovative research proposals to develop heterogeneous photonic integrated circuit platforms incorporating on-chip optical gain across three technical areas. Work will involve scaling complexity with gain in silicon photonics foundries, achieving high power gain with components handling radio frequencies up to 110 GHz and 1 watt total power, and developing broad spectrum gain across 400-900 nanometers. Performance will take place in Santa Barbara, California from August 2020 through June 2025. There is no set-aside designation associated with this award.
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.
