DOE Selects Recipients of Small Business Technology Awards

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted three of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STRR) proposals SBIR-STTR FY16 Phase I Release 2 awards, targeting advances in solid-state lighting products and components.

Lucent Optics Inc.’s ultrathin flexible LED lighting panels, Lumisyn LLC’s LED downconverter phosphor chips with nanocrystals, and InnoSys Inc.’s next-generation installation/configuration software platform and novel luminaire were selected for the technical and commercial feasibility of their innovative solid-state lighting product or component. The devices were chosen because of their direct link to the price and performance goals itemized in the agency’s R&D plan.

The SBIR-STTR program within the DOE Office of Science seeks to increase the participation of small businesses in federally sponsored innovative and novel research and development.
