In plain English

DARPA seeks innovative methods for synthesizing polymeric and nonlinear optical materials that can be produced at useful scale. The work should culminate in a prototype nonlinear optical material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator. An amendment extends the required abstract deadline; proposals focused solely on inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing nonlinear optical materials are excluded.

About this opportunity

Amendment 01: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the required abstract deadline. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the areas of new synthesis techniques for polymeric materials and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in material synthesis with the ability to scale to quantities relevant for application integration, culminating in the development of a prototype demonstration of a revolutionary NLO material integrated into a functional government-provided electro-optic modulator. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results…
