This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Ram Photonics LLC, a small business limited liability company. The $123,773 firm-fixed-price contract is for Phase I of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a highly efficient laser transmitter for space-borne missions. The proposed approach aims to generate only one optical pulse per symbol, eliminate electro-optic modulators, and use a nearly lossless fiber architecture to achieve low power consumption. This contract is part of the agency's broader efforts to advance low-power integrated pulse-position modulation (PPM) laser transmitter technology for potential defense and national security applications.
