Freedom Photonics LLC, a small business manufacturer of photonic components and subsystems, was awarded a $124,992 firm-fixed-price STTR Phase I contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract, which is set aside for small businesses, aims to develop a hybrid integration platform that combines high-performance active optical components with low-cost silicon photonics for space-based photonic applications. This work will be performed in partnership with the University of California, Santa Barbara using a novel 3D integration approach to create a scalable, reliable, and thermally-efficient system-in-package solution.
