Growth and Production of As2S3 Waveguides
Summary
The Department of War's Office of Naval Research seeks proposals to develop deposition and etching processes for As2S3 waveguides that enable low‑loss, high‑gain stimulated Brillouin scattering photonic amplifiers for RF applications. The effort aims to create a generic enabling technology for analog RF amplification on photonic carriers, with potential use in data‑center interconnects and military electromagnetic warfare systems.
