COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MARCH 24,2000 PSA#2564PATENT LICENSE OPPORTUNITY FOR MICRO LASER DEVICE The Office of Special
Technology announces the following: The Technical Support Working Group
and the U.S. Army CECOM Research, Development and Engineering Center
(CERDEC) Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) announce
the availability of licenses for a micro laser which has direct
applications to military rangefinders as well as other commercial
purposes. The laser was designed for simplicity and has no moving parts
and few optical components. It can be tuned/manufactured to laze at
three discrete frequencies. The design makes innovative use of existing
flash bulb circuitry found in disposable cameras as the power source
for the devices. The design is exceptionally small and compact. There
is a plan for initial procurement of rangefinders utilizing this laser
which will be announced separately. Other uses of this device include:
ophthalmology applications; due to the precision of the beam it may
also lend itself to applications in computer chip processing; and
applications in surveying instruments. Due to the numerous applications
of this technology the NVESD invites companies to consider Cooperative
Research and Development Agreements for developing applications of
this technology to their product lines. A preliminary design review
package and license application for the required patent is available
from NVESD. If interested please request information and respond with
the required documents within 30 days. Contact Karen Gordon, U.S. Army
