Delivery Order
Overview
Government Description
Materials Integrated Nano-/Opto-Electronic Structures (MINOS) supports research and development in materials, processing, device integration, data sciences, and related enabling technologies to advance intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare capabilities for air and space applications at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), materials and manufacturing directorate. Work includes the purchase of a continuously tunable laser and peripherals, a zero gauss chamber, and the development and delivery of synchronized multi-channel electrical pulser systems to drive Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) arrays, including demonstration and characterization of 2-CHANNEL and 8-CHANNEL synchronized pulsing systems with integrated thermal control. Tasks involve designing a pulser system using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, constructing and characterizing 2-CHANNEL synchronized pulsing in a laboratory environment, and making adjustments for 8-CHANNEL synchronized pulsing with integrated temperature control. The effort also includes expanding qcl array packaging, constructing and characterizing prototype 8-CHANNEL synchronized pulser systems, and delivering three 8-CHANNEL synchronized pulser units with thermal control.
