Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the area of very large-scale photonic circuits. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. This solicitation includes a Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Addendum that contains key technical details relevant to the program goals and objectives.
