About this opportunity
Office of the Secretary of Defense SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 4) — Accepting submissions 2026-07-22 to 2026-08-19. Objective: The objective of this project is to develop a nanophotonic-enabled spatial light modulator array with modulation a few orders (>10X) faster than the state-of-the-art commercial technologies Description: Adaptive optics (AO), with wavefront sensors and deformable mirrors based on spatial light modulators (SLMs) has been used for active laser beam control and propagation path compensation. The liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) is the most mature technology used for SLMs. But it suffers from a slow response time of tens to hundreds of milliseconds (~ kHz). Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-based movable micromirrors, known as ...
