About the company
Quintessent Inc. is a for-profit manufacturer registered to do business with the federal government. The company develops photonic technologies involving semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, and laser sources. Through prime contract awards, Quintessent has provided research, development, and production efforts to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) supporting integrated photonics for radio frequencies up to 110 GHz under the DARPA LASERS FOR UNIVERSAL MICROSCALE OPTICAL SYSTEMS (LUMOS) program. Additionally, the firm was awarded a $1.75 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract to supply packaged uniform multi-wavelength power sources for pipes.
As a subcontractor, Quintessent has worked with partners including the University of California, Santa Barbara and Columbia University. Under a Columbia subaward, Quintessent transferred fabrication processes, tailored designs, evaluated manufacturing pathways, and developed energy-efficient semiconductor optical amplifiers. A UCSB subcontract involved developing reflection insensitive quantum dot lasers for wavelength switched co-packaged optics.
Through National Science Foundation prime awards, Quintessent advanced laser sources for scalable optical connectivity via Phase I and Phase II SBIR funding. A Department of Energy Office of Science prime grant also tasked Quintessent with improving optical linewidth properties using indium arsenide quantum dots.
