The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) worth up to $4,800,000 to Freedom Photonics, LLC, a small business based in Goleta, California. The contract is for the development of high-power semiconductor lasers capable of operating at high temperatures to support various government research programs.
Under this IDC, AFRL has issued multiple cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders to Freedom Photonics totaling over $1.7 million. The work performed under these orders involves the design, development, and delivery of advanced photonic components, modules, and subsystems, including high-power tunable lasers for LIDAR remote sensing, integrated coherent optical receivers for space-based sensors, quantum frequency processors, and radiation-hardened optical fiber links for high-energy physics applications. This contract aligns with Freedom Photonics' expertise in photonic integration, semiconductor laser and photodetector technologies, and providing specialized photonic solutions to support research programs across various government agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, Department of Energy, and NIST.
