Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: Photon Spot, Inc. proposes to develop an ultra-compact, ultra-low vibration cryogenic system appropriate for large-format SNSPD cameras, optimized for time-resolved imaging applications such as time-resolved emission microscopy (TREM).
Activities to be performed: The awardee intends to demonstrate feasibility of their design and four interrelated subcomponents and then construct two prototypes.
Expected outcomes: Their system will allow the integrated circuit manufacturers to pinpoint and correct defects in the manufacturing process and reduces development time and cost.
Intended beneficiaries: Integrated circuit manufacturers and researchers conducting experiments on quantum technologies.
Subrecipient activities: The recipient plans to subaward funds to deploying and testing their system for deep space optical communication.
