Area-Multiplied Photonic-crystal Enhanced Devices (AMPED)

Notice ID:DARPA-PS-26-119

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) seeks innovative research proposals for the AMPED program, aiming to demonstrate chip-scale, single-mode laser devices with unprecedented output power and efficiency. The program targets orders-of-magnitude improvement over current photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser technology. A controlled unclassified information (CUI) Addendum with key technical details is available upon request via instructions in Attachment A. No specific budget amounts, performance location, or non-bid timelines are mentioned in the description. This opportunity is for organizations capable of advancing high-power, compact laser technology.
