99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY THIN FILM EVAPORATIVE COOLING FOR SIDEPUMPED LASERS

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed a highly efficient way to cool solid state crystal lasers.This patent-pending thin-film evaporative cooling technique offers higher opticalefficiencies and monochromatic quality than traditional conductive cooling techniques.NASA has developed this technology for use in side-pumped 2.0-micron laser systems usedin light detection and ranging (LIDAR) instruments. This thin-film cooling design conceptalso has broad utility for diode-pumped solid state laser systems, especially those withhigh heat flux or challenging packaging requirements.To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: [email protected], or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
