About this opportunity
Office of the Secretary of Defense STTR topic — under DoW STTR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.TZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: Develop cost effective, high throughput wafer scale manufacturing processes for custom achromatic meta optic components operating in the mid wave infrared (MWIR, 3–5 µm) or long wave infrared (LWIR, 8–14 µm) spectral bands. Description: Meta-optics have recently garnered significant attention for their ability to drastically minimize the size, weight, and complexity of infrared (IR) systems. By substituting bulky, multi-element, three-dimensional curved optics with flat surfaces comprised of subwavelength-scale meta-units, they offer an ideal optical platform for size- and weight-constrained systems, such as portable IR vision ...
