This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI), a small business manufacturer, to develop a silicon-germanium-tin (SiGeSn) based light emitter device technology on silicon. The $124,999 firm-fixed-price contract is part of NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I, which aims to research and develop technologies that can benefit NASA's space missions. The SiGeSn technology is intended to enable integrated photonics applications, such as on-chip chemical and biological spectrometers for landers, astronaut health monitoring, and remote sensing instruments like trace gas LIDARs. This research supports NASA's objectives in areas like advanced materials, optoelectronics, and integrated silicon photonics.
