- This is a $499,999.39 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to demonstrate an ultra-broadband, widely tunable, low size, weight, and power (SWAP) microwave photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for extreme high frequency (EHF) signal generation and distribution. The research will focus on developing PIC components such as optical sources, modulators, photodetectors, and optical ring resonator-based true time...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $149,986.00 Firm Fixed Price purchase order to Physical Sciences Inc., a for-profit research and development company, for STTR Phase I research on "Photonic Integrated Circuit Assisted Single Photon Detectors (PICA SPDs)." This award is set aside for small businesses. The University of Illinois Research Park LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and 1862 land grant college, is a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $550,768.00, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to produce an integrated on-chip spectrometer prototype operable at far-infrared (100 to 200 micron) wavelengths. The spectrometer will be integrated with a kinetic inductance device (KID) detector array, allowing for compact light dispersion and detection in a single device. The University of Chicago will design and fabricate the detectors, while...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC20K1360, was granted to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research institution, to conduct research and development on tunable superconducting millimeter-wave planar circuits. The objective is to fabricate and characterize on-chip Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs) for millimeter and submillimeter wavelength astronomy and cosmology research. The contract, valued at $631,508.00, is a grant for research and does not have a...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AD15G, was issued by a civilian government agency to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The $499,989.00 grant funds the development of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) transceiver capable of supporting user-selectable data rates from 10 Mbps to 500 Gbps for space optical communications. The PIC will combine a silicon photonic (SiPh) receiver with a hybrid-integrated indium phosphide (InP) transmitter and local oscillator on a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $499,999.99, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwestern University, a private research institution located in Evanston, Illinois. The contract is for a 3-year research program to develop a monolithically integrated pulse-position-modulated (PPM) laser transmitter and receiver chips using silicon photonics technology for space optical communications. The proposed work aims to realize a...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to perform early-stage research on an innovative hybrid integrated photonics platform for adaptive discrete multi-carrier optical communications in a space-based free-space optical environment.
