SBIR Opportunity Analysis

The Department of Defense, through its SBIR program, is seeking proposals to design and build a large étendue, high spectral resolution Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne interferometer. Performers must develop a field-widened, static instrument that overcomes conventional spectrometer limitations to simultaneously optimize optical throughput and spectral resolution for quantum and remote sensing applications. The final prototype must achieve an étendue of at least 0.1 square centimeter steradians, a spectral resolving power greater than 100,000, and a packaged volume under 10 liters, while demonstrating Doppler velocity sensitivity of 1 to 5 meters per second at wavelengths between 400 and 1600 nanometers. This opportunity is open to both Phase I and Direct to Phase II proposals, with applications closing on August 19, 2026.
