A -- Future Imaging

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plans to issue a purchase order to Light Spin Technologies, Inc. for research focused on developing new imaging photonic devices, incorporating aspects of physical optics, optical circuits, and optoelectronic materials, devices, and components. The contract value is set to be under $100,000, with the research to be conducted over a six-month period following the purchase order issuance. Light Spin Technologies, Inc. was selected based on its specialized technical expertise and proven track record in conducting research in this specific domain. This action is not a solicitation or request for proposals but serves as a notice preceding the purchase order issuance, which is expected fifteen days after the notice’s publication. The project, titled "A -- Future Imaging," is under the jurisdiction of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency within the Department of Defense, with administrative functions based in Arlington, Virginia. The research will advance photonic imaging technology, supporting DARPA’s objectives in cutting-edge optical and optoelectronic innovation.
