DARPA is soliciting innovative proposals for new synthesis techniques for polymeric materials and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Proposed research should enable revolutionary advances in material synthesis that can scale to quantities relevant for application integration, culminating in a prototype demonstration of a revolutionary NLO material integrated into a functional government-provided electro-optic modulator. Excluded research includes evolutionary improvements, technically unjustified exceptional claims, solely inorganic materials without a polymeric component, and modification/repurposing of existing NLO materials for incremental improvements.

Proposals focused on evolutionary improvements or technically unjustified exceptional claims are excluded. Also excluded are efforts using solely inorganic materials without a polymeric component or merely modifying/repurposing existing NLO materials for incremental state-of-the-art gains.

DARPA is seeking innovative proposals for new synthesis techniques in polymeric and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Proposed research should pursue revolutionary, scalable approaches that enable application integration and culminate in a prototype demonstration of an NLO material integrated into a functional government-provided electro-optic modulator. The solicitation excludes research focused on evolutionary improvements to the current state of practice or exceptional claims that cannot be technically justified. It also excludes proposals using solely inorganic materials without a polymeric component, as well as efforts to modify or repurpose existing NLO materials for only incremental state-of-the-art improvements.
