Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI) reports that it has received a DARPA Phase I SBIR to enhance high intensity lamp performance. Performance will be enhanced through the use of optical coatings that allow the lamps to conserve energy while maximizing desired light output and minimizing non-useful light output. In this program SMI will utilize MOCVD processes to produce a series of functionally designed nanolayers to optimize internal reflection of non-useful light while allowing the desired wavelengths to pass freely through the applied coating.

Critical to achieving the desired results are SMI’s proven precision controlled atomically abrupt interface layer producing process and tool technology. The films consist of several nanolayers of different engineered thicknesses.

The process is designed to be a high volume production worthy process once optimized. In this project, SMI is working closely with a wellestablished lamp manufacturer. The end result will be a superior lighting technology for military and civilian applications alike.
