High QE Type II SLS Materials for FPA Applications

IntelliEPI IR, Inc. proposes to mature infrared detector technology using Type II Strained Layer Superlattice infrared photodetector based on Sb-capable multi-wafer Molecular Beam Epitaxy production for commercialization. In this proposed effort, IntelliEPI-IR will focus on advancing Type II SLS infrared photodetector technology for commercial, military and NASA FPA applications and IntelliEPI-IR will evolve imaging technology based on novel device architecture and advanced MBE growth technique. The materials produced under this effort will be advanced to higher readiness level consistent with customer requirements for commercial insertion and market development.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
