Physical Sciences Inc., a small business contractor based in Andover, Massachusetts, was awarded a $2.25 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on May 21, 2024, to develop designs for objective and eyepiece optical systems and flat optics for prototype night vision systems. The contract, structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive agreement with a total small business set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by May 19, 2026. The work builds on earlier SBIR Phase I research and focuses on advancing flat-optics technology to enhance night vision capabilities through innovative optical system design and layout. Boston University, through its Trustees organization, serves as the primary subcontractor, having been awarded a subcontract on June 1, 2024, to fabricate between 10 and 20 flat optical components with diameters up to 2.1 inches. Boston University's scope includes developing and depositing designer optical materials—specifically high-index dielectrics and tailored-dispersion transparent conducting oxides—at thicknesses up to 2 microns on glass or crystal substrates. These components will be designed to operate across visible and near-infrared wavelengths between 400 and 900 nanometers for integration into the prototype imaging systems under development.
