About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on May 12, 2020. With a potential value of $363,528, the contract has no set-aside designations and aims to develop novel vacuum-fluctuation based light sources across the visible to x-ray frequencies spectrum.
MIT will serve as the prime contractor under the contract. Per the award description, the contract seeks to advance the development of next-generation light sources not dependent on lasers or other conventional photon generation methods. Such sources could enable new capabilities for DARPA and the Department of Defense in applications such as lithography, imaging, and quantum technologies. By exploring light sources rooted in quantum vacuum fluctuations as opposed to stimulated emission processes, the agency may be able to access entirely new regions of the electromagnetic spectrum previously inaccessible. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity structure of the award provides a flexible mechanism for DARPA to fund specific technology demonstrations or prototypes over the coming years as research progresses.
