  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  IN THIS NASA SBIR PHASE II EFFORT, ADVR WILL DESIGN AND BUILD AN EFFICIENT, FULLY INTEGRATED, WAVEGUIDE BASED, SOURCE OF SPECTRALLY UNCORRELATED PHOTON PAIRS THAT WILL ENABLE ACCELERATED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE EMERGING FIELD OF QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE. THE KEY INNOVATION IS THE USE OF SUB-MICRON PERIODICALLY POLED WAVEGUIDES TO PRODUCE COUNTER PROPAGATING PHOTON PAIRS USING QUASI-PHASE MATCHED DOWNCONVERSION. THIS NOVEL DEVICE WILL PROVIDE A HIGH BRIGHTNESS SOURCE OF DOWNCONVERSION PAIRS WITH ENHANCED SPECTRAL PROPERTIES, LOW ATTENUATION, AND OPERATION IN THE VISIBLE TO THE MID-INFRARED SPECTRAL REGION.

  THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS SBIR EFFORT IS DELIVERY OF A COMPACT, ROBUST, HIGHLY EFFICIENT, FIBER-COUPLED UV MODULE TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED 355NM LIGHT FOR INTEGRATION INTO HSRL'S UV INTERFEROMETRIC-BASED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM. AN ADDITIONAL GOAL OF THIS EFFORT IS TO PROTOTYPE A COMPACT, ROBUST, FIBER-COUPLED UV PLC MODULE WHICH PRODUCES THE REQUIRED SPECTRALLY FORMATTED 355NM LIGHT FOR STABILIZATION OF THE HSRL'S UV INTERFEROMETRIC FILTER, A COMPONENT REQUIRED FOR THE ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF CRITICAL AEROSOL MICROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES. THIS APPROACH IS ENABLED BY ADVR'S PATENTED SUBMOUNT POLING TECHNIQUE TOGETHER WITH ADVR'S INTEGRATED PLANAR LIGHTWAVE CIRCUIT (PLC) TECHNOLOGY. THE UV PLC CONCEPT ADVANCES NASA'S STATE-OF-THE-ART LIDAR SYSTEMS DUE TO ITS COMPACT, EFFICIENT, AND RELIABLE DESIGN, THUS ENABLING USE ON SMALL AIRCRAFT AND FUTURE SPACE-BASED PLATFORMS.

• $375,000 - Monday the 7th of April 2014
  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  THIS NASA PHASE II STTR EFFORT WILL DEVELOP DOMAIN-ENGINEERED MAGNESIUM OXIDE DOPED LITHIUM NIOBATE (MGO:LN) FOR LIDAR-BASED REMOTE SENSING AND COMMUNICATION APPLICATIONS. USE OF BULK AND WAVEGUIDE-BASED DOMAIN ENGINEERED MGO:LN WILL ALLOW THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND COMPACT, WAVELENGTH CONVERSION MODULES FOR SECOND-HARMONIC GENERATION (SHG), SUM-FREQUENCY GENERATION (SFG), AND PARAMETRIC DOWN CONVERSION (PDC). IN ADDITION, THESE DEVICES CAN BE CONFIGURED FOR BROADBAND AND HIGH-GAIN OPTICAL PARAMETRIC AMPLIFICATION (OPA) IN THE NEAR-IR SPECTRAL REGION PROVIDING A PATH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPACT, SINGLE WAVELENGTH, SPECTROSCOPICALLY USEFUL LASER SOURCES AS WELL AS PROGRAMMABLE OPTICAL COMB (MULTI-WAVELENGTH) SOURCES.

  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PHASE II EFFORT WILL DEVELOP AN ALL-DIODE LASER AND FIBER OPTIC BASED, SINGLE FREQUENCY, SUB-NANOSECOND PULSED LASER SOURCE FOR HIGH RESOLUTION LIDAR APPLICATIONS BENEFITING SLR, LIST AND DESDYNI MISSIONS. THIS LASER WILL HAVE A USER ADJUSTABLE PULSE WIDTH FROM 2NS TO 400PS AND WILL BE IDEAL FOR SEEDING HIGH POWER FIBER AMPLIFIERS FOR SHORT PULSE, HIGH RESOLUTION LIDAR TRANSMITTERS. THE HIGHEST UTILITY OF THE PROPOSED SUB-NANOSECOND PULSED LASER IS SIMULTANEOUSLY ACHIEVING NARROW LINEWIDTH AND NARROW PULSE WIDTHS THAT CAN BE SET BY THE USER FOR LIDAR INSTRUMENTS WITH<10CM VERTICAL RESOLUTION.
