- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its novel stub tuners for high power electromagnetic applications. Background: Stub tuners are used in microwave design to match load impedances to allow for maximum power transfer between generator and load.� They consist of one or more transmission lines that have tunable lengths and are each terminated with an open or short-circuited load.� Despite their importance, appropriate mechanisms for stub tuning are limited.� There is a need for a tunable mechanism that could withstand high electric fields to enable high-power microwave (HPM) sources. Description: Design and construction of a photoconductive switch requires a diamond photoconductor illuminated by light of a certain excitation wavelength.� The diamond material is specifically doped with substitutional nitrogen, which act as a source of electrons.� The device architecture allows maximum light entering the aperture.� The top and bottom electrodes are made of ultra wide band gap (UWBG) transparent conductors or materials with high reflectivity. Advantages/Benefits:� Able to withstand extremely high electric fields Fast turn-on times Tunable to desired properties of the mission Applicable to high power electronics, pulsed power, and particle accelerator applications Potential Applications:� Directed energy and effects testing Electronic warfare Long-range communication and radar Industrial microwave heating or curing Pulsed power and particle accelerators Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 2 (Technology concept and/or application formulated) LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's stub tuners should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1.�������� Company Name and address. 2.�������� The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3.�������� A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's stub tuners. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13687
