STATEMENT OF WORK. TITLE OPTOELECTRONIC DETECTORS, SWITCHES, AND MODULATORS. 1.0 INTRODUCTION: As part of the DARPA Photonic Analog to Digital Converter Technology Program (PACT), the SSC-SD Optically Clock Track and Hold (OC T&H) project is developing an optically clocked track and hold circuit with reduced error due to aperture time and aperture jitter. Reducing residual timing jitter and increasing the optoelectronic (OE) detector response are requirements needed to achieve the performance goals of the project. As a result there is an interest in developing high power pulse OE photodiode detectors. In support of this DARPA PACT project, SSC-SD and Dr. Paul Yu at UCSD are collaborating on an effort to develop high-power high-speed OE waveguide photodiode detectors sensitive to 1.55um light. As part of an ILIR program, SSC-SD is developing a novel dual-wavelength transmission photonic link with even harmonics cancellation for enhanced link linearity. In support of this ILIR project, SSC-SD and Dr. Paul Yu at UCSD are collaborating on an effort to develop efficient linear waveguide electro-absorption (EA) modulators. FY02 is the third year of collaboration on this program. 2.0 SCOPE: Engineering support for the development of OE detectors, switches, and modulators will be provided. This engineering support includes design, material growth, fabrication, testing, and evaluation required in the development of the OE devices. The proposed development includes semiconductor material and device structure design modifications, and improving the fabrication process. High quality epi-materials with different band gap energies will be fabricated for appropriate optical propagation losses at selected laser wavelengths. A high level of material growth controllability as well as good electrical properties is required. 3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: 3.1. Optoelectronic Switches and Detectors. 3.1.1: The contractor shall grow the multi-layer semiconductor structures required for fabrication of OE switch and detector devices. These OE devices may include both planar and waveguide designs. 3.1.2: Using the mask set designed as part of FY01 tasking (Stub N66001-1178-8207, MIPR N6600101MP00637), the contractor shall fabricate waveguide integrated photodiode with distributed absorption (WIPDA) detectors for high-speed high-power pulse detection. 3.1.3: The contractor shall collaborate with SSC-SD on the testing and evaluation of devices fabricated under task 3.1.2. 3.1.4: The contractor shall perform analysis, modeling and simulation for the purpose of understanding the test results obtained in task 3.1.3. 3.1.5: The contractor shall refine the design of the WIPDA pulse detector, generate a new mask set for the refined design and repeat tasks 3.1.1 through 3.1.4 as required. 3.1.6: The contractor shall produce a written report documenting the development, results, and evaluation of the WIPDA pulse detectors. 3.2: Franz Keldysh Electroabsorption Modulators. 3.2.1: The contractor shall grow a multi-layer semiconductor structure on InP. The material design shall be useful for operation as an electroabsorption (EA) modulator at 1.5mm, having the electrical characteristics of a p-i-n diode. The material layer structure shall include non-absorbing cladding materials surrounding the active EA material, layers which serve as increase the mode size propagating along the waveguide. 3.2.2: Using a mask set identified by SSC-SD, the contractor shall fabricate waveguide electro-absorption (EA) modulators from the material grown in 3.2.1. The waveguides shall be cleaved and mounted to enable testing at SSC-SD. The completed modulator waveguide structures shall be delivered to SSC-SD. 3.2.3: The contractor shall collaborate with SSC-SD to evaluate the devices produced. 4.0 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED PROPERTY/MATERIAL: None. 5.0 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: University of California, San Diego, Electrical Engineering building. 6.0 TRAVEL: None. 7.0, SECURITY: Unclassified. 8.0, PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: This task is anticipated to be a 16-month effort after date of award. 9.0, INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE: Deliverables under this effort shall be reviewed and accepted by: E.W. Jacobs, 2825, SPAWARSYSCEN, San Diego, CA (619) 553-1614. Quotations may be faxed to (619) 553-1062 or emailed to gina@spawar.navy.mil. Numbered Note 22 applies; however,all Quotations received within 7 days (in lieu of 45 days) of the date of this synopsis will be considered by the government. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 541330 and Size Standard is $23.0M. Offerors must complete and submit with their quote, a copy of FAR 52.219-1 Alt I/II, Small Business Program Representation. Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is required for all contractors doing business with DOD. Information to register to CCR can be found at http://www.ccr.gov/.
