| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | P3 - COMPACT POWER AMPLIFIER FOR HYBRID FIBER/BULK WIND LIDAR TRANSMITTERS | — | $2,417,499 | Aug 25, 2026 | Jul 12, 2023 – Jan 1, 2029 |
| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | SBIR PHASE II, LONG-RANGE COMPACT ECONOMICAL LIDAR FOR WIND PROFILING | — | $849,992 | Jun 30, 2026 | Jul 9, 2024 – Jan 8, 2027 |
| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | IGF::OT::IGF THE ADVANCED COHERENT DETECTION WIND SPACE PATHFINDER (WIND SP) LIDAR DIRECTLY ADVANCES THE OVERALL TECHNOLOGY MATURATION AND READINESS OF COHERENT DETECTION WIND MEASUREMENTS TOWARDS THE 3D GLOBAL WIND SPACE MISSION. IT REPRESENTS A MAJOR NEXT STEP THAT WILL RESULT IN A NEW INSTRUMENT THAT MATCHES FORM, FIT, AND FUNCTION OF THE LIDAR SUBSYSTEM WITH A SPACEREADY INSTRUMENT WHILE RETAINING APPROPRIATE ALIGNMENT ACCESSIBILITY. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE WIND SPACE PATHFINDER ACTIVITY IS TO DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND DEMONSTRATE A NEXT GENERATION COHERENT DETECTION WIND LIDAR THAT REPRESENTS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS THE ULTIMATE WIND SPACE MISSION. | — | $1,799,825 | Sep 5, 2025 | Jun 14, 2017 – Feb 11, 2022 |

| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | AUTONOMOUS ALIGNMENT ADVANCEMENTS FOR EYE-SAFE COHERENT LIDAR | — | $711,654 | Oct 17, 2024 | Jan 26, 2021 – Jan 25, 2025 |
| Prime | Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency | SBIR/STTR PHASE II R&D-COMPACT EFFICIENT LADAR FOR TARGET DETECTION AND RANGING | — | $1,497,936 | Jul 26, 2024 | Mar 4, 2021 – Nov 2, 2023 |
| Prime | National Aeronautics and Space Administration National Aeronautics and Space Administration | IN THIS PHASE II EFFORT WE PROPOSE TO ADVANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTONOMOUS ALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY ALLOWING IMPROVED PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY FROM COHERENT LIDAR SYSTEMS AND DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNOLOGIES IN A WORKING COHERENT LIDAR SYSTEM. EYE-SAFE COHERENT LIDAR TECHNOLOGY HOLDS GREAT PROMISE OF MEETING NASA'S DEMANDING REMOTE 3D SPACE WINDS GOAL NEAR TERM. HIGHLY AUTONOMOUS, LONG-RANGE COHERENT LIDAR SYSTEMS MAY HOWEVER SUFFER SIGNIFICANT SIGNAL LOSS DUE TO ENVIRONMENT-INDUCED COMPONENT MISALIGNMENT, AS WELL AS VARYING RECEIVER LAG-ANGLE ALIGNMENT ERRORS IN SPACE-BASED PLATFORM APPLICATIONS. ALTHOUGH SUCH SYSTEMS CAN BE ENGINEERED WITH THE REQUIRED ALIGNMENT STABILITY, THE OVERALL SIZE, MASS, AND COST TO PRODUCE COHERENT LIDAR SYSTEMS WILL BENEFIT FROM INCORPORATING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE DESIGN THAT ALLOWS ALIGNMENT TO BE OPTIMIZED AUTOMATICALLY WHILE THE SYSTEM IS IN THE FIELD. AUTONOMOUS SPACE- AND AIR-BORNE LIDAR SYSTEMS WILL ESPECIALLY BENEFIT, WHERE MAINTAINING PEAK PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL WITHOUT REGULAR HUMAN INTERVENTION. AUTO-ALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGIES WILL RESULT IN LOWER-COST LIDAR SENSORS WITH GREATER AUTONOMY AND LESS-EXOTIC OPTO-MECHANICS, SPURRING STRONG COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL DUE TO THE RAPID INTRODUCTION OF LIDAR SYSTEMS INTO THE COMMERCIAL MARKETPLACE FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS. THE TECHNOLOGY AIMED AT MAINTAINING LASER AND LIDAR ALIGNMENT ALSO HAS POTENTIAL TO CORRECT FOR RECEIVER LAG ANGLE IN FAST-SCANNING LONG-RANGE LIDAR SYSTEMS, WHICH WILL FACILITATE FASTER SCAN RATES, LARGER APERTURES, AND GREATER AREA COVERAGE RATE CAPABILITY. BEYOND PHOTONICS HAS A STRONG INTEREST IN SOLVING THESE TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS FOR RELEVANT GROUND-BASED, AIRBORNE, AND SPACE-BASED UNATTENDED LIDAR SYSTEMS. THIS PHASE II EFFORT WILL FURTHER MATURE AUTO-ALIGNMENT DESIGNS EXHIBITING A HIGH LEVEL OF SYNERGY BETWEEN NASA'S AND OTHER COMMERCIAL VENDORS REQUIREMENTS FOR LASER AUTO-ALIGNMENT, TRANSMIT/RECEIVE TRANSCEIVER AUTO-ALIGNMENT, AND RECEIVER LAG ANGLE COMPENSATION. | — | $896,715 | Jan 25, 2022 | Jun 12, 2018 – Jun 28, 2022 |
