About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $2.25 million definitive contract to Physical Sciences Inc. for developing designs of objective and eyepiece optical systems and flat-optics-enhanced night vision prototypes on May 21, 2024, under a total small business set-aside.
The contract is priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Place of performance is Andover, MA. The originating SBIR solicitation requires fabrication and testing of large-aperture achromatic visible metalenses for imaging applications, with design and layout of individual flat optics across visible wavelengths between 400 nanometers and 900 nanometers. The ultimate completion date is March 2, 2027.
Boston University, through its Office of the Comptroller, is performing subcontracted fabrication steps in the development of 10 to 20 flat optics with diameters up to 1 inch for use in prototype imaging systems. This work involves development and deposition of designer optical materials—high index dielectrics and tailored-dispersion transparent conducting oxides at thicknesses up to 2 microns on glass or crystal substrates.
