- 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 is a $2,146,908.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research to develop ultra-low size, weight, and power (SWAP) light detection and ranging (LIDAR) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for Earth science sensing applications, such as measuring atmospheric constituents like carbon dioxide. The research aims to leverage existing developments in telecommunications PICs to create customized PICs...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,925 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to design a chip-scale optoelectronic synthesizer that can generate extremely high frequency (EHF) signals from 30-300 GHz with high spectral purity. The three-year research project will involve developing a mode-locked laser testbed, fabricating photonic integrated circuit (PIC) components for optical filtering and pulse shaping, and demonstrating the generation of...
- 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. The $499,997.00 grant will support the development of silicon photonic transceiver components for a coherent laser optical communication and/or relay...
- This is a $1,989,747.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research on near-infrared (near-IR) power beaming. The objective is to develop a "hand size optic" capable of transmitting over 100 watts of electrical power to multiple assets from a distance exceeding 1 kilometer, using small, low-power beacons on each asset to enable targeting. UCSB, a public research university, has extensive...
