DARPA Bioinspired Photonics Program

DARPA invites research proposals for the Bioinspired Photonics program. The program's goal is to harness the best of nature's photonic structures and utilize advances in materials technology to create controllable photonic devices at visible and near infrared wavelengths. There are three specified phases to the program; fabrication and understanding, activation and dynamic control, and advanced capabilities. Eligibility is generally unrestricted but there are some limitations on FFRDCs and foreign entities. Multiple awards are anticipated. Proposal abstracts are due Oct 7.
