Develop an ultra thin, flat lens that will focus light in the visible region, without the discontinuities imparted by a Fresnel lens

Design and develop thermal insulators containing thermal radiation inhibitors for reusable application at temperature exposures exceeding 1650K over one hour, and highest possible heat load configuration that is pertinent of hypersonic platforms.

Develop technology approaches to protect vehicle vision system day cameras from being damaged significantly by pulsed lasers with wavelengths in the visible spectrum.

The goal is to develop a semiconductor material that exhibits properties of high k dielectric constant over a wide operating temperature range, low leakage current, high breakdown voltage, and provide very low 1/f noise and RTS noise characteristics for Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) capacitor implementation. In addition, the material should also be of good producibility, good reliability, and compatible with the current readout fabrication technology.

The goal of the research is to develop a low-temperature spin spray deposition of low-loss, high quality nanocrystalline ferrite films and thick ferrite/insulator layers for non-reciprocal and tunable RF device circuits integrated on large scale printed circuit board (PCB) panels.

To develop laser nanostructuring technologies for durable, anti-corrosive, self-cleaning, hydrophobic surfaces.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications for funding to perform research leading to the development of innovative technologies that may advance progress toward more effective cell replacement therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D).

This topic area is aimed at developing technologies for ultrafast lasers capable of high average power (kilowatt-class) operating at the high electrical-to-optical efficiency (>20%) needed for advanced accelerator applications.
