About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $749,970 definitive contract to Freedom Photonics LLC for development of a widely tunable semiconductor laser for fiber optic smart structures sensor interrogation on April 6, 2017, under a total small business set-aside.

The originating program seeks to replace expensive, bulky, mechanically tuned swept laser technology in the Dryden (Armstrong) Flight Research Center's fiber optic sensor system with an inexpensive, rugged, and compact tunable laser featuring simple tuning control and tuning algorithms. This advancement is intended to reduce system cost, size, and weight while enabling massive deployment of fiber optic sensor networks in airborne applications. Place of performance is Goleta, CA. Contract completion was scheduled for April 5, 2021. Pricing is firm fixed price.

Description

Dryden (ARMSTRONG) flight research center has developed a 4-fiber interrogation system for fiber optic smart structures (FOSS) sensor networks interrogation. Replacing the expensive, bulky, mechanically tuned swept laser technology used in the FOS system will help reduce the system cost, size and weight, and enable massive deployment. In this program, freedom photonics proposes to develop a novel, inexpensive semiconductor based widely tunable laser, which can be tuned using simple tuning algorithms and control.
