- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to develop and commercialize its solid state X-ray imager. Background: Diagnostic X-Ray imaging is primarily used for imaging the human body, and advancements in this imaging technology provides medical researchers with new tools to improve care in innovative ways. This invention would benefit applications that require high temporal resolution characterization, which currently relies on streak cameras based on old, expensive vacuum tube technologies. Description: The approach is to develop a solid-state X-ray imager based on the architecture of the Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) which uses a series of cathode strips on both sides of a silicon wafer to achieve bulk depletion and electron drift.� The invention leverages this SDD functionality to achieve signal stretching of liberated charge carriers from X-Ray photons that converts the time domain into the spatial domain.� This is the key concept behind achieving high temporal resolution in a solid-state device. Advantages/Benefits:� Low-cost scalable alternative to a vacuum tube streak camera in a solid-state device 30 micron spatial resolution; 30 picosecond temporal resolution Smaller footprint Potential Applications:� High Energy physics Plasma physics Life Sciences Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 2 LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. U.S. Patent Application No. 2022/0223311 Light Field X-Ray Optics published 11/22/2021 U.S. Patent No. 11,240,433 System and Method for X-Ray Compatible 2D Streak Camera for a Snapshot Multiframe Imager published 2/1/2022 U.S. Patent Application No. 2021/0335866 High Temporal Resolution Solid-State X-Ray Detection System published 4/27/2021 LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's solid-state X-ray imager should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: Company Name and address. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's solid-state X-ray imager. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13387Plus
